49TH STREET ACADEMY

49th Street Academy is a Title I public school that is part of the Evergreen School District (Clark) school district, located in Vancouver, WA with about 101 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 10 teachers, 49th Street Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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 49th Street Academy, located in Vancouver, Washington, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Vancouver Public Schools district. It functions primarily as an alternative school designed to support students who may benefit from a more personalized, structured, or therapeutic learning environment than what is typically provided in a large comprehensive high school. The academy focuses on helping students who have faced academic, social, or emotional challenges to get back on track, earn necessary credits, and progress toward graduation.

The school is known for its smaller class sizes and a supportive staff-to-student ratio, which allows for individualized instruction and tailored behavioral support. By fostering a close-knit community, the academy aims to address the holistic needs of its students, emphasizing both academic achievement and the development of essential life skills. Overall, the 49th Street Academy serves as a vital resource for the district, providing an essential pathway for students to overcome barriers and successfully complete their secondary education.
