HARBOR ACADEMY REG SAFE SCH PRG

Harbor Academy Reg Safe Sch Prg is a public secondary school that is part of the Region 06 West Cook ISC 2 school district, located in Hillside, IL with about 16 students. With about 5 teachers, Harbor Academy Reg Safe Sch Prg 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.

Harbor Academy is a specialized educational facility located in Hillside, Illinois, operating under the "Regional Safe Schools Program" (RSSP) framework. These programs are designed specifically to serve students in grades 6–12 who have been expelled or are at risk of suspension from their home school districts due to disruptive behavior or persistent disciplinary issues. By providing a highly structured, alternative learning environment, the academy aims to provide students with a fresh start, focusing on academic credit recovery while addressing the behavioral challenges that necessitated their placement.

The primary goal of Harbor Academy is to reintegrate students into their traditional school settings or prepare them for graduation through a combination of remedial academics, social-emotional learning, and behavioral intervention. Because it is part of the state-supported Regional Safe Schools Program, the school typically maintains smaller class sizes and lower student-to-teacher ratios. This allows faculty to provide individualized attention and consistent support to help students improve their attendance, academic performance, and decision-making skills in a safe, controlled environment.
