New Charleston Area Public Charter School Shows Strong Results Just 1 Month After Opening; Open House Thursday, Sept. 30

September 22, 2021 by 0 Comments

Charleston, SC – Sept. 21, 2021 – As schools across South Carolina struggle with helping students regain lost ground due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a new public charter high school in North Charleston is reporting strong student engagement a month after opening.

“Many of our students struggled in, or had dropped out of, traditional schools,” said Dr. Jacinta Bryant, Director of Lowcountry Acceleration Academy. “But they have hit the ground running here — and it’s so exciting to see them begin the school year with early success.”

Research has shown that student progress suffered when the pandemic closed school buildings and forced an abrupt shift to full- or part-time remote learning in 2020-21. According to the federal Department of Education, those losses were particularly steep for students of color, LGBTQ students and those from economically disadvantaged communities — all groups that Lowcountry Acceleration Academy serves with a personalized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum. While students do their coursework online, they have intensive one-on-one coaching on the academy campus and via Zoom and phone conferences.

Mariah and Makyia Aiken are twin sisters who lost ground not only due to the pandemic, but also to a tropical storm destroying their family home on John’s Island. Thanks to a curriculum that has them focus on one course at a time, they completed their first course — geometry — in 3 weeks. “Instead of us having to take it for a full semester, at Acceleration Academy we were able to do it in three weeks,” said Mariah. “Now I can go on to my next class and be one step closer to getting my diploma.” 

Like all public schools, Lowcountry Acceleration Academy provides a high school education at no cost to students and their families. It is located at 5935 Rivers Ave. in North Charleston.   

The media are invited to attend our open houses on Thursday, Sept. 30. From 9-11 a.m. that day we will welcome community leaders and members of the media. There will be an additional open house for prospective students, their families and other interested community members from 4-7 p.m. that day. Please RSVP to: http://evite.me/rd4EM79B37

***DISCLAIMER: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only***

CHARLESTON, SC – The Charleston County Coroner’s Office identified Jason Latroy Cooper, 28, of North Charleston, as the man fatally shot during an officer-involved shooting. He died at the scene of the shooting at North Romney Street according to Charleston County Deputy Coroner Supervisor Brittney Martin. An autopsy has been ordered. Cooper died after what Charleston Police Chief Luther Reynolds called an exchange of gunfire at the Bridgeview Village Apartments in the 100 block of North Romney Street.

Reynold held a news conference after the shooting. He said five city police officers involved in the incident are on paid administrative leave while the shooting is being investigated by the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division. Reynolds said the situation began when a woman called police about a domestic violence situation involving a weapon.

Responding officers arrived on the scene and were met with a person with a gun and after an exchange of gunfire, a Charleston Police officer was shot in the chest area and was taken to the hospital, Reynolds said.

“That officer was wearing a ballistic vest and was examined at the hospital and has already been released,” Reynolds said. “An individual who was involved in the shooting and associated with the initial call is deceased.”

We are asking for your help to curtail disturbing and potentially dangerous activities.

In the recent months, North Charleston Police officers have faced challenges from large groups of unsupervised juveniles, leading to fights, disruption of businesses, and disturbing the peace in retail locations. These incidents have occurred in the evening around Northwoods Mall, Tanger Outlets, and Frankie’s Fun Park, among others.

Northwoods Mall, Tanger Outlet, Frankie’s Fun Park, and the Northwoods Cinema each have a policy requiring parental supervision of juveniles (under 17 years old) after 6:00pm or 7:00pm, and we are asking parents to adhere to these reasonable guidelines set forth by these businesses.
