With about 23 teachers, Cyd Lash Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.

Cyd Lash Academy, located in Gages Lake, Illinois, is a specialized therapeutic day school operated by the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL). The school is designed to serve students in grades 6 through 12 who have significant social, emotional, or behavioral needs that cannot be fully met in a traditional general education setting. By providing a structured and supportive therapeutic environment, the academy aims to help students develop the coping skills and emotional regulation necessary to succeed academically and personally.

The school’s curriculum is highly individualized, blending traditional academics with intensive social-emotional support, including counseling and behavioral intervention services. Cyd Lash Academy emphasizes a collaborative approach, working closely with families and home school districts to create personalized learning plans. The ultimate goal of the program is to foster a sense of stability and academic progress, with the intent of helping students successfully transition back to their home schools or move toward graduation and post-secondary success.
