Alternative EL serves approximately 5 students, and covers grades 2nd-5th, and has a 2.5:1 student-teacher ratio.

What Parents Should Know
At 5 students, Alternative EL is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
At 2.5:1 students to teachers, Alternative EL sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
