DAEP

DAEP is a public high school that is part of the EAGLE PASS ISD school district, located in EAGLE PASS, TX with about 22 students offering grade levels from 8th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 4 teachers, DAEP has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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 **DAEP (Disciplinary Alternative Education Program)**, located at 1610 Del Rio Blvd in Eagle Pass, Texas, serves as a specialized educational environment within the Eagle Pass Independent School District. Unlike traditional campuses, this facility is designed to provide structured academic instruction for students who have been removed from their home schools due to disciplinary infractions. The program’s primary goal is to maintain continuity in the students' education while addressing behavioral issues, ensuring that they remain on track with state curriculum requirements despite their temporary separation from their regular school setting.

The environment at the DAEP is typically more restrictive and focused on remediation and accountability. By providing a controlled setting, the school aims to help students reflect on their actions, develop better decision-making skills, and prepare for a successful reintegration back into their home campus. The faculty and staff at this location work to balance academic rigor with the social-emotional support necessary to help students address the specific challenges that led to their placement, ultimately striving to reduce recidivism and support long-term student success.
