PINES SCHOOL DAY PROGRAM

PINES SCHOOL DAY PROGRAM is a Title I public high school that is part of the Centennial Public School District school district, located in LINO LAKES, MN with about 18 students offering grade levels from 7th 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 6 teachers, PINES SCHOOL DAY PROGRAM 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 PINES SCHOOL DAY PROGRAM, located in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Centennial School District (ISD 12). The program is specifically designed to support students who require a highly structured, therapeutic environment to succeed academically and behaviorally. By integrating small class sizes with intensive support services, the school aims to help students develop the coping skills, emotional regulation, and social competencies necessary to transition back into a traditional classroom setting.

The program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, often involving a team of educators, counselors, and support staff to create individualized learning plans tailored to each student's unique needs. By focusing on both rigorous academic standards and mental health support, The Pines provides a safe and stable atmosphere where students can address barriers to their learning. As part of the broader ISD 12 framework, the school is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that prepares students for success, focusing on long-term personal and educational development.
