COASTAL ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (CAP)

COASTAL ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (CAP) is a public high school that is part of the DICKINSON ISD school district, located in SANTA FE, TX with about 8 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, COASTAL ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (CAP) has a student/teacher ratio of about 1:1. 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 COASTAL ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM (CAP) in Santa Fe, Texas, serves as an alternative educational setting designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment. Located on Highway 6, the program is part of the Santa Fe Independent School District’s efforts to provide personalized academic pathways for students who require additional structure, flexibility, or specialized support to succeed. By offering a smaller classroom setting, the program aims to help students overcome academic or behavioral obstacles and maintain progress toward graduation.

The primary mission of CAP is to foster a supportive climate that prioritizes student accountability and academic achievement. By moving away from the structure of a comprehensive high school, the program allows for individualized instruction, enabling students to focus on credit recovery and essential curriculum requirements. The school serves as a vital resource within the district, ensuring that all students—regardless of their personal or educational challenges—have a dedicated space and the necessary guidance to work toward their high school diploma and future career goals.
