ALTERNATIVE CENTER

ALTERNATIVE CENTER is a public high school that is part of the EDGEWOOD ISD school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 31 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 4 teachers, ALTERNATIVE CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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 **ALTERNATIVE CENTER**, located at 900 S. San Eduardo in San Antonio, is an educational facility operating under the **Edgewood Independent School District (EISD)**. As an alternative campus, the center is specifically designed to provide a structured and supportive learning environment for students who may require a different setting than that of a traditional high school to achieve academic success. The program typically focuses on credit recovery, behavioral intervention, and personalized instruction to help students stay on track toward graduation.

The center serves as a critical resource for the Edgewood community, aiming to re-engage students who have faced challenges in standard classroom settings. By providing smaller class sizes and specialized academic support, the ALTERNATIVE CENTER seeks to remove barriers to learning and help students develop the skills necessary to transition back into traditional schooling or successfully transition into post-secondary life. Further information regarding specific enrollment criteria, program offerings, and academic calendars can be found on the official district website at [www.eisd.net](http://www.eisd.net).
