HOSPITAL/HOMEBOUND

HOSPITAL/HOMEBOUND is a public high school that is part of the DALLAS ISD school district, located in DALLAS, TX with about 72 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 7 teachers, HOSPITAL/HOMEBOUND 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.

The **HOSPITAL/HOMEBOUND** program located at 912 S. Ervay in Dallas is not a traditional school campus, but rather a specialized instructional service provided by the Dallas Independent School District. It is designed to ensure educational continuity for students who are unable to attend their regular school in person due to documented medical or psychiatric conditions. By providing a bridge between the clinical environment and the classroom, the program aims to prevent students from falling behind academically while they undergo treatment or recovery.

The services offered through this office typically involve certified teachers who coordinate with a student’s home campus to deliver assignments, provide direct instruction, and manage testing requirements. Because the program is tailored to the specific health needs of the student, instruction may take place in a hospital setting, at the student's residence, or through remote learning arrangements. The primary focus of the program is to maintain the student’s academic progress and social-emotional connection to their school community until they are medically cleared to return to a standard classroom environment.
