Aces Program
Graduates 20 Students
GREENVILLE – Council on Rural Services is proud
to congratulate the twenty students that graduated from the Achievement
Center for Educational Success (ACES) program and received diplomas
from their local school districts.
The program believes in the approach of different choices for students
that seek a different educational option by providingindividualized
instruction to match each student’s ability and learning style.
When students were asked what they like most about the program answers
included: everyone is treated with respect, persistent motivation
from all teachers, hands on program, individualized teaching, and
instructors teach because they care.
We are also pleased with the year-end statistics and outcomes for the
ACES Program for the 2010-11. They include:
• 52 students were enrolled in the ACES program in
the 9th through 12th grades from ten school districts
• 20 students attending graduated from six of the
school districts; Greenville City Schools, Mississinawa Valley Schools,
Covington Exempted Village Schools, Tri-Village Local Schools,
Arcanum-Butler Local Schools, and Franklin Monroe Schools,
• 24 additional students advanced to their next grade
level.
• 95.9% of the 333 credits attempted in all courses,
were successfully completed.
• Students achieved a 90% attendance rate during the
year.
• The program also provided 684 hours of support
services, employment training, service learning, and development
training during the year.
Coursework at ACES is provided in a Greenville classroom setting under
the guidance of two certified teachers, trained aides/tutors, program
coordinator and a youth advocate. Social skills and behavioral
counseling are also offered to all students enrolled. The overall
goal of ACES is to bring each student up to their grade-level
performance and on to diplomas awarded from their home schools.
Program director, Jeff Vaughn said, “We collaborate with ten different
school districts and together we pledge our help to every student that
attends ACES. We strive to furnish the needed instruction for the
students to help them succeed in school and in their life. By helping
them to graduate, this program makes a difference in their lives.”
