SIMLEY ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM

SIMLEY ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM is a Title I public high school that is part of the INVER GROVE HEIGHTS SCHOOLS school district, located in INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN with about 24 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 2 teachers, SIMLEY ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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 SIMLEY ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM, located in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, is a specialized educational initiative operating under the Inver Grove Heights Schools district. Designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, the program focuses on providing flexible pathways to graduation. It caters to students who need a different approach to academic instruction, social-emotional support, or scheduling, ensuring they have the necessary resources to meet state standards and earn their high school diplomas.

The program emphasizes a personalized educational experience, often featuring smaller class sizes and more individualized attention from faculty. By fostering a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, the SIMLEY ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM aims to help students overcome barriers to academic success, improve school engagement, and prepare for post-secondary opportunities. Through its connection to the broader district, it remains committed to providing the same rigor and quality of education found at Simley High School while tailoring the delivery to better suit the unique needs of its student population.
