West End Academy Addresses Needs of At-Risk 11th and 12th Graders in APS

A school and a program for all at risk high school students in the APS system.

West End Academy’s Principal, Dr. Evelyn Mobley, recently hosted “A Place at the Table” at the school to gather colleagues,  stakeholders, partners, mentors, and support staff to discuss the work, collaboration,  capacity building, instructional amenities, and  system support offered at the West End Academy.

According to TalkUpAPS, "Atlanta Public Schools partners with Communities-In Schools of Atlanta to operate the West End Academy Performance Learning Center."  The program at West End Academy serves 150 eligible 11th and 12th graders attending any APS high school. 

The APS blog says that, "West End Academy provides  a non-traditional program that addresses the needs of at risk students, who may or may not be succeeding in the regular school environment. At West End students have access to individualized virtual learning that allows them to work at their own pace."

This seems to be a very popular and needed service in the school system these days, as more students find themselves "lost" in the system.

During Dr. Mobley's meeting, community partners and West End supporters had a meeting of the minds and participated in authentic engagement to enhance support and success for all students. 

We look forward to hearing about and sharing with our readers good news coming out of this new West End Performing Learning Center.
