PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA ALC

PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA ALC is a Title I public high school that is part of the Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools school district, located in PRIOR LAKE, MN with about 98 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 6 teachers, PRIOR LAKE-SAVAGE AREA ALC has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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 Prior Lake-Savage Area Area Learning Center (ALC) is a specialized educational facility within the Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools district designed to provide flexible, personalized learning pathways for students who may not thrive in a traditional classroom setting. Serving students in grades 9–12, the ALC focuses on credit recovery, academic support, and individual growth, offering an environment that caters to diverse learning styles and unique scheduling needs. The program is committed to helping students stay on track for graduation by providing a smaller, more intimate setting where instructors can offer tailored guidance and mentorship.

Beyond its focus on core academics, the ALC emphasizes the social-emotional development and post-secondary preparation of its students. By fostering a supportive and inclusive community, the center aims to remove barriers to education and empower students to overcome challenges. The facility serves as a vital resource for the district, ensuring that all students—regardless of their personal circumstances or academic history—have equitable access to the tools, resources, and encouragement necessary to earn their diploma and prepare for future success.
