TAUNTON ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL

Taunton Alternative High School is a public high school that is part of the Taunton school district, located in Taunton, MA with about 95 students offering grade levels from 10th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 6 teachers, Taunton Alternative High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

It is designed to provide a supportive and flexible learning environment for students who may struggle with the structure or pace of a traditional high school setting. By offering a smaller, more personalized academic experience, the school aims to help students overcome barriers to learning, re-engage with their education, and ultimately earn their high school diplomas.

The school focuses on fostering a community-oriented atmosphere where students can receive more individualized attention from faculty and staff. Through its curriculum and programming, Taunton Alternative High School emphasizes academic progress, social-emotional growth, and career readiness, ensuring that students are prepared for their post-graduation goals.
