School Overview

Crossroads Center, located in Middle River, Baltimore County, is an alternative education facility operated by Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS). It serves students from across the district who have been removed from their traditional home schools due to disciplinary infractions or behavioral challenges. The center is designed to provide a structured, intensive learning environment where students can continue their academic progress while receiving targeted support to address the specific behaviors that led to their placement.

The school’s curriculum is aligned with the standard BCPS requirements, ensuring that students remain on track for graduation despite their transition. Beyond core academics, Crossroads Center places a heavy emphasis on character development, social-emotional learning, and restorative practices. By providing smaller class sizes and specialized counseling services, the school aims to help students gain the necessary tools and maturity to successfully reintegrate back into their home schools or move forward into post-secondary opportunities.
