270 HOPKINS WEST JR HIGH ALC

Middle School 7th - 9th

School Overview

The **Hopkins West Junior High ALC (Alternative Learning Center)**, located at 3830 Baker Road in Minnetonka, is a specialized educational program operating under the Hopkins Public Schools district. Designed to support students who may benefit from a more personalized or non-traditional approach to learning, the ALC provides a supportive environment tailored to meet the individual academic and social-emotional needs of junior high students. By offering smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction, the center helps students overcome barriers to academic success, credit recovery, and engagement.

The program functions as a crucial resource within the district for students who thrive outside of a conventional middle school setting. Its mission is centered on fostering a sense of belonging, providing intensive academic support, and preparing students for a successful transition into high school. By leveraging the resources of the larger Hopkins school system while maintaining a focused, student-centered atmosphere, the ALC works to ensure that all learners have the tools and mentorship necessary to reach their full potential.
