Achieve Academy (commonly Achieve or Choice) is a public alternative school located in Wylie, Texas, United States. It is part of the Wylie Independent School District.
History[edit]
The DAEP and Choice programs were located at the Wylie Special Programs Center from early 2006,[3][4] serving only 16 students.[5] By mid-2009, the enrolled had increased to 26, and the Special Programs Center was renamed to Achieve Academy.
In October 2010, construction began on a new building for Achieve,[6] where it has remained since completion.[1]
Programs[edit]
Achieve Academy offers two distinct programs for its students: The Discipline Alternative Education Program (DAEP) and Choice Academic High School.[7] For both programs, the majority of courses are done through Edgenuity, an online school curriculum. Courses that require end-of-course assessments are done in traditional classroom settings.[8]
Disciplinary Alternative Education Program[edit]
The DAEP is for students who have received disciplinary action or expulsion from their original campus. This program is open to students from the first grade onward.[7]
Choice Academic High School[edit]
Choice is a high school program aimed toward students either unable to succeed in a traditional high school setting, require flexibility in school hours, or who wish to graduate early. Credit recovery and accelerated curriculum are also available through Choice.[9] This program is completely voluntary, and requires an application to be filed by the student and their legal guardian.[10][8]
