PSD OPTIONS SCHOOL

PSD OPTIONS SCHOOL is a public elementary school that is part of the Poudre School District R-1 school district, located in FORT COLLINS, CO with about 145 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 3 teachers, PSD OPTIONS SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 48:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

PSD OPTIONS SCHOOL, located on East Prospect Road in Fort Collins, is a specialized alternative education program within the Poudre School District. Designed for students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school environment, the school offers a more flexible and personalized approach to learning. Its primary mission is to provide an inclusive, supportive atmosphere that helps students overcome academic or personal challenges, improve their credit standing, and ultimately earn their high school diploma.

The school emphasizes a student-centered curriculum that often combines independent study, smaller class sizes, and strong teacher-student relationships. By focusing on individualized graduation plans and social-emotional support, PSD OPTIONS SCHOOL aims to remove barriers to education, helping students build the confidence and skills necessary to transition into post-secondary education, the workforce, or other career paths. It serves as a vital resource for the district by ensuring that all students have a viable pathway to academic success and graduation.
