RACINE ALTERNATIVE LEARNING 6-12

Racine Alternative Learning 6-12 is a Title I public high school that is part of the Racine Unified School District school district, located in Racine, WI with about 199 students offering grade levels from 6th 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 30 teachers, Racine Alternative Learning 6-12 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.

Racine Alternative Learning (RAL) 6–12, located on Mount Pleasant Street in Racine, Wisconsin, serves as a specialized educational pathway within the Racine Unified School District. The program is designed for students in grades 6 through 12 who require an academic environment that differs from the traditional classroom setting. By offering a smaller, more personalized atmosphere, the school aims to support students who may benefit from non-traditional instructional methods, smaller class sizes, and a focus on social-emotional growth alongside academic rigor.

The core mission of the program is to provide students with the tools necessary to overcome barriers to their education and successfully progress toward graduation or reintegration into a traditional school environment. Through its alternative programming, the school emphasizes individualized learning plans, strong student-teacher mentorships, and a supportive culture that prioritizes student engagement. For families seeking more details on admissions, curricula, or specific support services, the district maintains comprehensive information through the official Racine Unified School District website.
