Unlocking the
Next Generation’s Power to Overcome

Second Mile Education has been a collaborative partner with OCPS since 2008, ensuring vulnerable students have the opportunity to achieve a high school diploma. Their schools have not only complied with statutory requirements and been in good standing since inception, but have been a staple in the communities they serve, providing accessible choice options across Orange County. We value them as a partner in achieving student success and look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship.

Second Mile has demonstrated exceptional dedication to fostering student success. They excel in maintaining clear and effective communication across all levels – a transparency that fosters trust and teamwork. Most importantly, their schools consistently deliver measurable student achievement, not only meeting benchmarks but developing the skills and confidence needed to succeed beyond the classroom. In a time when innovative educational solutions are more critical than ever, Second Mile stands out as a leader in creating opportunities for students who might otherwise fall through the cracks.

We have witnessed firsthand the positive impact these schools have on the mutual students we serve. The positive outcomes of the partnership between our agencies include improved academic performance, increased attendance in school, improvements to mental health and family functioning, securing employment, and improved life and social skills. We strongly support the work Second Mile performs and hope to see this become available to more students across the country.

Second Mile Charter Schools provide a comprehensive support system, particularly for parenting adolescents. By understanding each student’s unique circumstances, Second Mile implements personalized interventions to address life challenges, making high school completion attainable. They offer opportunities not available in other educational settings, allowing students who have struggled elsewhere to reconnect with their educational goals. This transformation is a direct result of Second Mile’s supportive and adaptive environment.
