A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

The school emphasizes a structured yet flexible approach to education, aiming to foster both academic achievement and personal responsibility. By offering a curriculum tailored to the specific pace and needs of its student body, SOUTHWEST ACADEMY provides a vital pathway for those seeking to remain on track for their high school diploma.
