CHOICES ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL

Choices Alternative School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Canton City school district, located in Canton, OH with about 81 students offering grade levels from 11th 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 8 teachers, Choices Alternative School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Choices Alternative School, located in Canton, Ohio, serves as a specialized educational environment designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional classroom setting. Operating as part of the Canton City School District, the school focuses on providing an individualized approach to learning, often catering to students who need extra academic support, behavioral guidance, or a more flexible path toward graduation. By maintaining a smaller, more intimate setting, the program aims to foster a sense of community and stability for students who are at risk of disengaging from their education.

The curriculum at Choices emphasizes both credit recovery and personal development, utilizing smaller class sizes to ensure that teachers can provide targeted attention to each student’s specific needs. Beyond core academics, the school often incorporates social-emotional learning and behavioral interventions to help students overcome obstacles that have previously hindered their success. Ultimately, the school serves as a vital bridge, offering students a second chance to earn their diplomas and gain the necessary skills to transition successfully into post-secondary life or the workforce.
