School Overview
The Walker County Schools 180 Program, located in Jasper, Alabama, functions as the district’s designated alternative educational setting. Its primary purpose is to provide a structured and supportive environment for students who have faced behavioral challenges or academic difficulties that prevent them from succeeding in a traditional classroom setting. By offering a different educational approach, the program aims to help students get back on track, improve their behavioral choices, and ultimately work toward completing their graduation requirements.

The program emphasizes a curriculum designed to foster personal accountability and academic growth while maintaining alignment with district standards. By focusing on smaller class sizes and personalized interventions, the 180 Program creates a space where students can address the specific obstacles hindering their success. Through this intensive alternative model, Walker County Schools strives to ensure that students remain engaged in their education, reducing dropout rates and helping participants transition back to their home schools or move successfully toward post-secondary goals.

1 National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
