CROSSROADS ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL

Crossroads Alternative High School is a public high school that is part of the Kentwood Public Schools school district, located in GRAND RAPIDS, MI with about 225 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 14 teachers, Crossroads Alternative High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Crossroads Alternative High School, located at 28 60th St SE in Grand Rapids, is part of the Kentwood Public Schools district. It is specifically designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional educational environment. By offering a flexible and supportive curriculum, the school aims to help students overcome academic or personal challenges, recover necessary credits, and progress toward earning their high school diploma.

The school emphasizes a personalized approach to learning, focusing on the individual needs and goals of its students. By fostering a smaller, more intimate learning community, Crossroads provides an alternative to the large-classroom setting, allowing for closer mentorship between students and staff. Through its connection to the broader Kentwood Public Schools network, the institution remains committed to ensuring that all students—regardless of their starting point—are provided with the resources and guidance required to succeed and prepare for their future after graduation.
