917 TRANSITIONAL EDUCATION SERV ALT

917 TRANSITIONAL EDUCATION SERV ALT is a public high school that is part of the INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT 917 school district, located in ROSEMOUNT, MN with about 60 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 8 teachers, 917 TRANSITIONAL EDUCATION SERV ALT 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.

Intermediate School District 917’s Transitional Education Services (TES) is a specialized educational program located in Rosemount, Minnesota, designed to support students who require alternative learning environments. Rather than a traditional high school setting, TES focuses on providing highly structured, individualized instruction for students with unique behavioral, emotional, or academic needs. The program emphasizes the development of social-emotional skills alongside core academic curriculum, aiming to help students successfully navigate their educational path and prepare for post-secondary transitions.

The school operates under the umbrella of ISD 917, a cooperative agency that provides specialized services to member school districts in the south metropolitan area of Minneapolis-St. Paul. Because of this partnership, TES benefits from a multidisciplinary approach, often integrating support from special education teachers, counselors, and support staff to create a safe and therapeutic environment. By maintaining small class sizes and a focused, supportive atmosphere, the program seeks to re-engage students who may have struggled in mainstream settings, helping them build the confidence and accountability necessary to achieve their academic and personal goals.
