FREDERICK DOUGLASS RECLAMATION ACADEMY

Frederick Douglass Reclamation Academy is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the West Cleveland Drop Back In dba Frederick Douglass High Scho school district, located in Cleveland, OH with about 86 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 2 teachers, Frederick Douglass Reclamation Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 43:1. 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.

Frederick Douglass Reclamation Academy, located on Fulton Road in Cleveland, Ohio, is a specialized educational facility operating as part of the Magic Johnson Bridgescape Academy network. The school is specifically designed to serve students who have dropped out of the traditional public school system or who are at high risk of doing so. By offering a non-traditional, flexible environment, the academy aims to provide a "second chance" for students to complete their secondary education, earn their high school diploma, and prepare for future career or collegiate opportunities.

The program focuses on personalized instruction, leveraging a blended learning model that combines teacher-led support with digital coursework. This approach allows students to work at their own pace, which is particularly beneficial for those who may need to balance their studies with personal responsibilities such as employment or childcare. By emphasizing individualized attention and a supportive atmosphere, Frederick Douglass Reclamation Academy seeks to overcome the barriers that led to students leaving their previous schools, ultimately fostering a path toward graduation and long-term economic self-sufficiency.
