SECONDARY ALTER CTR

SECONDARY ALTER CTR is a public secondary school that is part of the HARLINGEN CISD school district, located in HARLINGEN, TX with about 59 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 11th Grade. With about 6 teachers, SECONDARY ALTER CTR has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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 Secondary Alternative Center (SAC), located in Harlingen, Texas, is part of the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District (HCISD) and serves as an educational setting designed for students who require an alternative to the traditional high school environment. The program is structured to support students who may be facing academic, behavioral, or personal challenges, providing them with a specialized curriculum and a more focused learning atmosphere to help them get back on track toward graduation.

By offering a smaller, more personalized classroom setting, the center aims to address the individual needs of its students through increased guidance and academic support. The goal of the SAC is to foster a safe and disciplined environment where students can overcome barriers, improve their academic standing, and develop the necessary skills to successfully transition back to a traditional campus or complete their secondary education requirements.
