Academic Performance

Plato Academy provides educational opportunities for students who have dropped out of traditional high schools, as well as those who are working to gain credits lost and gives them the chance to earn a high school diploma through a self paced educational setting. 

All students graduate under the District's Recommended Graduation Plan with an emphasis on preparing students for a post secondary education along with acquiring skills needed to join and be effective in the work place.

Campus History
