School Overview

The **Lake County ACER Program** (Alternative Center for Educational Recovery) is a specialized educational facility located in Tavares, Florida, operating under the Lake County Schools district. Unlike a traditional high school, the ACER program is designed to provide a structured, supportive environment for students who have faced academic or behavioral challenges in their home schools. The program focuses on credit recovery, social-emotional learning, and personalized instruction to help students get back on track toward graduation and academic success.

By providing a smaller, more focused setting, the ACER program allows students to work at their own pace with closer supervision from teachers and staff. The curriculum is tailored to address individual needs, aiming to remove the barriers that may have previously hindered a student’s progress. The goal of the program is to equip students with both the academic credits and the personal responsibility skills necessary to either return to their zoned high school or successfully complete their high school diploma requirements within the district.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
