PERFORMANCE BASED PREPARATORY ACADEMY

PERFORMANCE BASED PREPARATORY ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the ST. LUCIE school district, located in FORT PIERCE, FL with about 107 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, PERFORMANCE BASED PREPARATORY ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

PERFORMANCE BASED PREPARATORY ACADEMY (PBPA), located in Fort Pierce, Florida, functions as an alternative educational setting within the St. Lucie Public Schools district. Unlike traditional high schools, the academy is specifically designed to support students who are at risk of not graduating or who have struggled in a conventional classroom environment. By utilizing a performance-based model, the school allows students to progress through their coursework based on mastery of material rather than adhering to a strict, traditional seat-time schedule.

The academy focuses on providing personalized instruction, credit recovery, and a structured environment aimed at helping students get back on track toward earning their high school diplomas. By emphasizing smaller class sizes and individualized attention, PBPA seeks to address the unique academic and social-emotional needs of its student body. Their mission centers on re-engaging students in their education, fostering personal responsibility, and preparing them for post-secondary success, whether that includes vocational training, military service, or higher education.
