ROUGHRIDER ACADEMY

ROUGHRIDER ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the CENTER ISD school district, located in CENTER, TX with about 61 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, ROUGHRIDER ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 30:1. 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.

**ROUGHRIDER ACADEMY**, located at 658 Roughrider Drive in Center, Texas, functions as the alternative education campus for the Center Independent School District. The academy is designed to provide a specialized learning environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional setting. By offering a smaller classroom ratio and a more flexible curriculum, the school aims to help students who have fallen behind in credits or who require a different approach to instruction to successfully meet state graduation requirements.

The program focuses on credit recovery and academic intervention, allowing students to work at their own pace to complete necessary coursework. Beyond academics, ROUGHRIDER ACADEMY emphasizes student support, personal accountability, and the development of essential life skills. By fostering a structured yet supportive atmosphere, the school works to keep students engaged in their education, ultimately aiming to reduce dropout rates and prepare its student body for post-secondary success or career readiness.
