A charter school in Valrico, Florida.
It is a very small facility at the moment, and currently has only about 150 students attending.
There is also
one in Panama City, though I'm not sure what things are
like there.
All of the work is done on computers and on the Apex system online, so you never have to carry anything around other than a couple notebooks and extra
paper for notes.
At Newpoint, students receive a private school education for a public school price- free. There is no tuition.
While students do have to wear uniform, they are very relaxed about it. You have to wear the uniform shirt, a
red or tan polo or oxford. For pants you can wear black, khaki, or jeans as
long as they don't have holes in them. And you can wear pretty much any shoes.
There is zero-tolerance for bullying of any sort, so you don't have to worry about being bullied.
All the teachers are
pretty awesome, too.
There is also
one in Panama City, though I'm not sure what things are

Kid 1: Hey, what school do you go to?
Kid 2: *points to Newpoint logo on
shirt* I go to Newpoint
High.
Kid 1: Seriously? Dang, I'm
jealous...
