LAKE ACADEMY

LAKE ACADEMY is a public school that is part of the HILLSBOROUGH school district, located in TAMPA, FL with about 46 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 3 teachers, LAKE ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

LAKE ACADEMY, located on East Columbus Drive in Tampa, is an alternative education program operating under the umbrella of the Hillsborough County Public Schools district. The school is specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, offering a structured setting aimed at helping students get back on track academically and behaviorally. By focusing on individualized attention and smaller class sizes, the academy provides a specialized curriculum that addresses the unique needs of students who have struggled in a conventional high school setting.

As part of the broader district framework, LAKE ACADEMY emphasizes personal responsibility, academic recovery, and social-emotional growth. The school aims to provide a path toward graduation for students who require a more supportive or flexible structure, ensuring they have the resources necessary to earn their diplomas. Families and students interested in the specific academic programs, enrollment requirements, or the school's mission can find comprehensive information through the official Hillsborough County Public Schools website.
