Small schools
In 2002, the West Clermont School Board enacted a small schools system within Glen Este High School and Amelia High School. The fund was provided by the Bill Gates Foundation for Higher Education as a part of the small schools initiative to help increase graduate rates and test scores. Ten schools were created, five at Amelia High School and five at Glen Este High School. The small schools within Glen Este were: School of American Studies (SAS), School for Scientific Studies (SSS), Communications and Technology School (CTS), and the West Clermont Institute of Performing Arts (WECIPA). The School of Applied Health Sciences (AHS), which later became Human Kinetics and Wellness (HKW), was terminated due to budget cuts. Glen Este High School operated with four small schools from August 2009 until the small schools were dissolved. Due to loss of funding, the small schools were disassembled the 2011-2012 school year.
