Alternative Schools

The Ascend Math program has been instrumental in our students’ success.  As each student levels up, I give them a shout out over our radio. We had a 100% passing rate of our EXIT Level TAKS – state assessment this past fall.  I am hopeful that our GED scores in math will be high as well.

 Thanks to Ascend, we have completely revamped our Alternative Ed Program. Our students have responded extremely well to individualized computer based instruction. Discipline levels have dropped and we plan to continue using Ascend for these students upon their return to the traditional classroom.
