CHRISTIAN ACRES ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL

Christian Acres Alternative School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Madison Parish school district, located in Tallulah, LA with about 72 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Christian Acres Alternative School has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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.

Christian Acres Alternative School, located on Loop Road in Tallulah, Louisiana, serves as a specialized educational facility within the Madison Parish School District. As an alternative setting, the school is designed to provide a structured and supportive environment for students who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting. Its primary mission is to help these students overcome academic or behavioral obstacles, allowing them to remain on track toward graduation while receiving more focused attention than might be available in a larger comprehensive school.

The school functions as a critical resource for the local community, offering an individualized approach to instruction that emphasizes both academic recovery and personal development. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and implementing targeted interventions, Christian Acres aims to address the unique needs of its student body. The ultimate goal of the program is to foster a productive learning environment where students can rebuild their confidence, correct behavioral patterns, and successfully transition back into their home schools or prepare for life after high school.
