DAEP- EL

DAEP- EL is a public elementary school that is part of the AUSTIN ISD school district, located in AUSTIN, TX with about 7 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 5th Grade. With about 4 teachers, DAEP- EL has a student/teacher ratio of about 1:1. 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.

The facility located at 906 W. Milton in Austin, Texas, functions as part of the Austin Independent School District’s **Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP)** for elementary-aged students (DAEP-EL). This program is designed to provide a structured, alternative learning environment for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to specific disciplinary infractions. The primary goal of the center is to ensure that students maintain academic continuity while receiving behavioral interventions and support tailored to their age group.

Unlike a traditional elementary school, the DAEP-EL focuses on restorative practices and corrective guidance to help students address the behaviors that led to their placement. The environment is typically smaller and more highly supervised, allowing staff to provide intensive support as students work toward meeting their behavioral goals. The ultimate objective of the program is to successfully transition students back to their home campus with the skills and discipline necessary to succeed in a general education setting.
