Alternative Middle and High Schools

Alternative Middle and High Schools provide supportive environments for students whose behavior or poor academic readiness is interfering with their ability to be successful in a regular school setting. Innovative curriculum, counseling and social skills are an integral part of everyday learning, and students return to and are successful in their regular neighborhood schools.
