SW METRO DAY TREATMENT
SW Metro Day Treatment is a public high school that is part of the Southwest Metro Intermediate 288 school district, located in SHAKOPE, MN with about 7 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, SW Metro Day Treatment has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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.
The SW Metro Day Treatment program, located in Shakopee, Minnesota, is a specialized educational and therapeutic environment designed to support students who require more intensive assistance than a traditional classroom setting can provide. Operated as part of the Southwest Metro Intermediate District 288, the program serves students facing significant emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges. By integrating academic instruction with therapeutic services, the school aims to help students stabilize their personal well-being while ensuring they continue to make progress toward their high school graduation requirements.
The program operates on a holistic model, often involving a multidisciplinary team of teachers, mental health professionals, and support staff. The primary goal is to foster a structured, supportive environment that focuses on skill-building in areas such as emotional regulation, social-emotional learning, and academic resilience. By providing smaller class sizes and individualized attention, SW Metro Day Treatment strives to equip students with the tools necessary to successfully reintegrate into their home school environments or transition into post-secondary life.
