HIGHBANKS LEARNING CENTER

HIGHBANKS LEARNING CENTER is a Title I public high school that is part of the VOLUSIA school district, located in DEBARY, FL with about 24 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade 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 8 teachers, HIGHBANKS LEARNING CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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.

HIGHBANKS LEARNING CENTER, located in DeBary, Florida, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Volusia County Schools district. As part of the district's Alternative Education program, the center is designed to serve students who require a non-traditional learning environment. Its primary mission is to provide an supportive setting for students who may have struggled in a conventional high school environment, offering them a pathway to meet their academic goals and stay on track for graduation.

The center emphasizes personalized instruction and smaller class sizes, allowing teachers to provide targeted attention to students' specific educational and behavioral needs. By focusing on credit recovery and individualized learning plans, Highbanks aims to help students overcome barriers to success, foster personal responsibility, and prepare them for future transitions—whether that involves returning to a traditional school setting, graduating, or pursuing post-secondary opportunities.
