DAY REPORTING SCHOOL

Day Reporting School is a public high school that is part of the Tacoma School District school district, located in Tacoma, WA with about 23 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Day Reporting School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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 **Day Reporting School (DRS)**, located at 5501 6th Avenue in Tacoma, is an alternative educational program within the Tacoma Public Schools district designed to support students who have faced significant challenges in traditional high school settings. It serves as a specialized environment for students who are often transitioning back from disciplinary placements, juvenile justice involvement, or those who have struggled with attendance and behavioral expectations in a standard comprehensive school.

The program focuses on a structured, supportive atmosphere that balances academic credit recovery with behavioral interventions. By offering smaller class sizes and more personalized instruction, the Day Reporting School aims to help students get back on track toward graduation, develop essential social-emotional skills, and successfully reintegrate into a traditional educational path or prepare for post-secondary opportunities.
