WEST 40 REG SAFE SCH MIDDLE PRG

West 40 Reg Safe Sch Middle Prg is a public middle school that is part of the Region 06 West Cook ISC 2 school district, located in Hillside, IL with about 9 students. With about 2 teachers, West 40 Reg Safe Sch Middle Prg has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. 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 **West 40 Regional Safe School Program (Middle School)**, located in Hillside, Illinois, functions as an alternative educational placement designed to serve students in grades 6 through 8 who have faced challenges in traditional school settings. Administered by the West 40 Intermediate Service Center (ISC #2), the program is specifically structured to support students who have been expelled, suspended, or are otherwise at risk of academic failure. By providing a smaller, more controlled environment, the school focuses on re-engaging students in their education while addressing the behavioral or social-emotional barriers that may have hindered their progress in a standard classroom.

The curriculum and daily operations at the West 40 Safe School are centered on a combination of academic recovery and intensive behavioral support. The program emphasizes personalized instruction to help students bridge learning gaps while simultaneously teaching conflict resolution, decision-making, and emotional regulation skills. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide a "safety net" that allows students to stabilize their academic performance and behavioral conduct, with the objective of successfully transitioning them back into their home school district once they have met the necessary program requirements.
