ACE Community Academy

ACE Community Academy is a newly established independent charter district located at 14785 Thompson Avenue in Middlefield, Ohio. Designed to serve secondary learners in grades 9 through 12, the single-school district brings a tailored high school experience to a distant rural setting within the broader Cleveland metropolitan area. Functioning as its own local educational agency for federal programs, the academy offers a fresh alternative for local families seeking a focused high school pathway within a close-knit learning environment.

In its initial context for the 2024–2025 school year, ACE Community Academy offers an exceptionally personalized academic model, serving a close-knit cohort of 25 high school students. The district's human resources are robust relative to its size, boasting a total dedicated workforce of 12 full-time equivalent staff members—evenly divided between six instructional teachers and six support staff personnel. With roughly four students for every full-time teacher, the academy is well-positioned to deliver individualized instruction, strong mentorship, and comprehensive support services tailored to the unique goals of each high schooler.
