MATTIE V RUTHERFORD ALT ED CENTER

MATTIE V RUTHERFORD ALT ED CENTER is a Title I public school that is part of the DUVAL school district, located in JACKSONVILLE, FL with about 60 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 9th 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 18 teachers, MATTIE V RUTHERFORD ALT ED CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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 Mattie V. Rutherford Alternative Education Center, located in Jacksonville, Florida, operates under the Duval County Public Schools district as a specialized facility designed to support students who require an educational environment outside of a traditional classroom setting. The school focuses on providing an alternative path to academic success for students who may have faced behavioral, social, or academic challenges, aiming to keep them on track for graduation while addressing their specific developmental needs.

The center emphasizes a structured environment that combines core curriculum requirements with behavioral intervention and counseling services. By fostering a smaller, more personalized setting, Mattie V. Rutherford seeks to improve student engagement, encourage personal accountability, and help learners build the academic and social-emotional skills necessary to transition back to a comprehensive high school or successfully complete their high school requirements.
