MOUNT PLEASANT DAEP

MOUNT PLEASANT DAEP is a Title I public high school that is part of the MOUNT PLEASANT ISD school district, located in MOUNT PLEASANT, TX with about 18 students offering grade levels from 5th 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 3 teachers, MOUNT PLEASANT DAEP has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. 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.

MOUNT PLEASANT DAEP (Disciplinary Alternative Education Program) is a specialized educational facility located in Mount Pleasant, Texas, designed to serve students who have been removed from their traditional campus settings due to disciplinary infractions. Operated under the umbrella of the Mount Pleasant Independent School District, the program focuses on maintaining educational continuity for students in a highly structured, controlled environment. Its primary objective is to provide a corrective setting where students can continue their core academic coursework while addressing the behavioral issues that led to their placement.

Beyond its focus on academics, the program emphasizes character development, accountability, and the eventual reintegration of students back into their home campuses. By operating with smaller class sizes and heightened supervision, MOUNT PLEASANT DAEP seeks to minimize disruptions to the general student body while providing specialized attention to at-risk youth. The facility serves as a vital component of the district’s safety and management strategy, ensuring that all students—regardless of their behavioral standing—are provided the opportunity to fulfill their state-mandated graduation requirements.
