THE OAKS ACADEMY

The Oaks Academy is a Title I public high school that is part of the Cherokee County Schools school district, located in Marble, NC with about 52 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, The Oaks Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. 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 Oaks Academy, located on Airport Road in Marble, North Carolina, serves as an alternative educational facility within the Cherokee County School District. The school is designed to provide a structured and supportive learning environment for students who may require a different approach than what is offered in a traditional classroom setting. Its primary focus is on student success, emphasizing academic growth, behavioral development, and the preparation of students for their future educational or vocational goals.

By maintaining a smaller, more focused setting, The Oaks Academy allows for greater individual attention and personalized instruction. The curriculum is aligned with state standards, ensuring that students remain on track to earn their diplomas or transition back into their home schools. The school plays a vital role in the district’s efforts to ensure that all students, regardless of their unique challenges or circumstances, have access to the resources and guidance necessary to reach their full potential.
