THE ACADEMY AT FOREST VIEW

The Academy at Forest View is a Title I public high school that is part of the Township HSD 214 school district, located in Arlington Heights, IL with about 143 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 11 teachers, The Academy at Forest View has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

The Academy at Forest View, located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, is a specialized alternative education program operating under the umbrella of Township High School District 214. It is designed to serve students who may require a more flexible, supportive, or non-traditional learning environment than what is provided in the district’s comprehensive high schools. By offering a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and a personalized approach to instruction, the Academy aims to help students who have faced academic, social, or emotional challenges regain their footing and work toward earning their high school diplomas.

The school’s curriculum is focused on credit recovery and social-emotional development, ensuring that students stay on track for graduation while also building essential life skills. Beyond traditional academics, The Academy at Forest View emphasizes the creation of a close-knit, inclusive community where students receive increased mentorship and counseling. By fostering a culture of accountability and support, the program empowers students to overcome individual barriers to success, ultimately preparing them for post-secondary education, vocational training, or the workforce.
