School Overview
Racine Alternative Learning, located on Mount Pleasant Street in Racine, Wisconsin, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Racine Unified School District (RUSD). The school is designed to serve students who may require a different educational approach than what is offered in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. By providing a more personalized and flexible learning environment, the program aims to re-engage students, support those at risk of dropping out, and help individuals overcome academic or behavioral hurdles to earn their high school diplomas.

The curriculum and structure at Racine Alternative Learning focus on credit recovery, individualized instruction, and career readiness. The program emphasizes smaller class sizes and a supportive atmosphere, allowing teachers to provide more tailored academic guidance and social-emotional support.
