School Overview

The ALC Secondary Special Sites, located at 1780 7th St W in Saint Paul, Minnesota, operates under the Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) district as an **Area Learning Center (ALC)**. Unlike traditional high schools, ALC sites are specialized educational environments designed to provide flexible, personalized learning pathways for students who may need alternative settings to succeed. These programs are specifically tailored to support students who are credit-deficient, those who have dropped out or are at risk of dropping out, or students who require a non-traditional approach to earn their high school diplomas.

The curriculum at ALC sites typically focuses on credit recovery, accelerated learning, and social-emotional support to help students get back on track for graduation. By offering smaller class sizes, individualized instruction, and a more focused academic environment, the school aims to remove the barriers that prevent students from achieving their educational goals in a conventional classroom. Through its affiliation with the broader SPPS district, the site provides a vital bridge for students to complete their secondary education, gain professional skills, and prepare for post-secondary opportunities.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
