THE REAL SCHOOL

The REAL Sch is a public high school that is part of the Racine Unified School District school district, located in Sturtevant, WI with about 396 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 26 teachers, The REAL Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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 REAL School (Regional Environmental Academic Learning) is a specialized secondary school located in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, operating under the umbrella of the Racine Unified School District. The school is distinct for its project-based learning model, which emphasizes hands-on experience, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. By integrating traditional academic curriculum with outdoor education and real-world application, the school aims to foster critical thinking and a deeper connection to the local ecosystem among its students.

Beyond its academic structure, The REAL School is known for cultivating a tight-knit, inclusive campus culture that prioritizes student agency and personalized learning. Because the school draws students from across the district, it creates a unique environment where learners collaborate on multidisciplinary projects that often involve community partnerships. This approach is designed to prepare students not only for post-secondary education but also for active, informed citizenship, focusing heavily on sustainability and experiential problem-solving.
