BEACON ALP

Beacon ALP is a Title I public high school that is part of the Bloomington Public Schools school district, located in BLOOMINGTON, MN with about 114 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 5 teachers, Beacon ALP has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. 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.

Beacon ALP (Alternative Learning Program) is a specialized educational facility operated by Bloomington Public Schools, located on Nicollet Avenue in Bloomington, Minnesota. Designed as an alternative pathway for secondary students, the program focuses on providing a flexible, supportive, and personalized learning environment for those who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. Its mission is centered on helping students stay engaged in their education, recover necessary credits, and ultimately work toward earning a high school diploma.

The program emphasizes a student-centered approach, offering smaller class sizes and individualized instruction to address unique academic and social-emotional needs. By fostering a close-knit community, Beacon ALP aims to remove barriers to learning and build student confidence. As part of the broader Bloomington school district, the program provides a vital safety net, ensuring that all students have access to the resources, counseling, and academic guidance required to succeed and prepare for their post-secondary futures.
