LA AMISTAD
LA AMISTAD is a Title I public school that is part of the ORANGE school district, located in MAITLAND, FL with about 46 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten 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 4 teachers, LA AMISTAD has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.
LA AMISTAD, located at 1650 N. Park Ave in Maitland, Florida, is a specialized educational facility that operates in partnership with the Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) system. Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, LA AMISTAD is primarily recognized as a residential treatment and therapeutic educational center. It serves students who require a highly structured, supportive environment to address specific behavioral, emotional, or mental health needs while continuing their academic progress.
The facility focuses on integrating intensive clinical support with a personalized curriculum, ensuring that students can maintain their education during their stay. Because it is affiliated with the Orange County Public School district, the program adheres to state educational standards, allowing for a seamless transition for students returning to their home schools. The school’s environment is designed to be therapeutic, providing a balance of academic rigor and specialized care to help students develop the coping skills and stability necessary for future success.
