RAY STREET ACADEMY

Ray Street Academy is a Title I public school that is part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools school district, located in Graham, NC with about 85 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th 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, Ray Street Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. 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.

Ray Street Academy, located in Graham, North Carolina, is an alternative school serving the Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS). The academy is designed to provide a supportive, focused educational environment for students who may require a different approach than what is offered in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. By offering smaller class sizes and personalized instruction, the school aims to help students overcome academic or behavioral challenges, recover necessary credits, and remain on a successful path toward graduation.

The academy emphasizes a structured environment that prioritizes both academic achievement and social-emotional growth. Through its partnership with the ABSS district, Ray Street Academy provides students with access to individualized learning plans and vocational or life-skills support, ensuring that each student is better prepared for their post-graduation goals. Whether students are seeking to accelerate their credit attainment or need a more flexible atmosphere to thrive, Ray Street Academy serves as a vital resource for keeping students engaged in their education and connected to their community.
