Medlock Youth Village

Size

Medlock Youth Village is the 2nd largest of Academy for Academic Excellence's 3 high schools; its 88 students are 31.4% of district enrollment. The 8 nearest high schools are a median 4.1 miles away and have a median of 672 students, so Medlock Youth Village is smaller than most of them.

NCES lists it as an alternative school: one that serves students whose needs a regular school may not meet, or that offers a non-traditional program alongside regular schools. As a charter school it is publicly funded and charges no tuition, but it is run under a charter rather than directly by a local school board.
