TALL OAKS HIGH SCHOOL

Tall Oaks High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools school district, located in Bowie, MD with about 83 students offering grade levels from 11th 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 15 teachers, Tall Oaks High has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.

Tall Oaks High School, located in Bowie, Maryland, is an alternative high school within the Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) system. The school is specifically designed to provide a supportive and flexible academic environment for students who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting. By offering a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and a highly structured program, the school aims to help students recover credits, improve their attendance, and remain on a viable path toward high school graduation.

The curriculum at Tall Oaks focuses on core academic subjects while integrating social-emotional support and behavioral guidance to help students succeed. The program is geared toward meeting individual learning needs, offering a non-traditional approach that emphasizes accountability and personal growth. As a part of the broader PGCPS network, the school serves as a vital resource for students who require a different educational framework to overcome obstacles and complete their secondary education successfully.
