PINE REST KENTWOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Pine Rest Kentwood Public Schools is a public school that is part of the Kentwood Public Schools school district, located in GRAND RAPIDS, MI with about 31 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 12th Grade. With about 8 teachers, Pine Rest Kentwood Public Schools 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 location you provided, **300 68th St SE in Grand Rapids**, is the site of the **Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services** campus, which hosts a specialized educational program in partnership with **Kentwood Public Schools**. Specifically, this facility houses the **Pine Rest Retreat Clinic and School**, which provides therapeutic and educational services for students who require a highly structured, supportive environment due to significant emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges that cannot be managed in a traditional classroom setting.

The program functions as a bridge between clinical treatment and public education. Students enrolled here receive a combination of individualized academic instruction tailored to their specific learning needs and intensive therapeutic support provided by Pine Rest’s multidisciplinary team of professionals. By integrating Kentwood Public Schools' curriculum with specialized behavioral health interventions, the school aims to help students stabilize, improve their coping mechanisms, and eventually transition back to their home schools or less restrictive educational environments.
