Small schools
In 2002, the West Clermont School Board enacted a small school system within Glen Este High School and Amelia High School. The fund was provided by the Bill Gates Foundation for Higher Education to help with the increasing rates of students who were not finishing high school. Ten schools created, five at Amelia High School and five at Glen Este High School. The small schools within Glen Este are: School of American Studies (SAS), School for Scientific Studies (SSS), Communication Technology School (CTS), and West Clermont Institute of Performing Arts (WECIPA). The School of Applied Health Sciences (AHS), was terminated due to budget cuts. Glen Este High School operated with four small schools since August 2009. Due to loss of funding the small schools have been terminated with the 2011-2012 school year.
