School Overview

Aldine Education Center (AEC), located on Lauder Road in Houston, is a specialized campus within the Aldine Independent School District. Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, the center functions as a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP). It serves students from across the district who have been removed from their home campuses due to violations of the student code of conduct, providing a structured environment designed to keep students academically engaged while addressing behavioral needs.

The primary mission of the center is to bridge the gap in education for students during their period of reassignment. The faculty and staff focus on maintaining academic continuity, ensuring that students keep pace with their respective grade-level curricula while participating in character development and behavioral intervention programs. By prioritizing both rigorous classroom instruction and the correction of problematic behaviors, Aldine Education Center aims to successfully transition students back to their home campuses with the tools necessary to succeed in a traditional classroom setting.

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).
