“We are thrilled to have earned an A designation again and know this consistent level of academic achievement and growth is a result of the effort and dedication of our incredible students, staff, and community,” said Principal Dr. Leslie Judd. “Our 16-year streak of ‘A’ ratings reflects our commitment to providing students with the highest quality education and preparing them for success in college and career pathways.” 

Indiantown High School: A Remarkable Transformation

By focusing on data-driven, standards-based instruction, along with placing a strong emphasis on literacy, Indiantown High School teachers guided our students towards substantial learning gains and academic growth,” said Principal Lisa Davenport. 

Operated by Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ 

Both charter schools benefit from their special relationship with operator Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ, which provides students with access to dual enrollment opportunities, college-level coursework, and career technical education programs. Clark Advanced Learning Center and Indiantown High School offer a rigorous and robust selection of academic and career technical education (CTE) courses. This enables students to earn college credits while completing their high school education, providing a significant advantage in their post-secondary pursuits and career preparation. 

Recognition and Impact 

The “A” ratings from the Florida Department of Education are based on comprehensive assessments, including student achievement on Florida Standards Assessment Tests, learning gains in reading and mathematics, graduation rates, and college and career acceleration metrics.  

“We are incredibly proud to operate not one but two A-rated schools,” said Dr. Timothy E. Moore, Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ President. “Clark and Indiantown are offering students and families something special—not only a high-quality high school education but also a seamless pathway to college, right in their own communities. When students can start their college journey while still in high school, without leaving home, that changes everything for these families.”
