The Alternative Learning Program For Swain County High School

In this letter, I hope to show you why I am interested in going to County Prep. County Prep has been my number one choice for high school. The County Prep mission statement says, “We are a dynamic, diverse and compassionate learning community…” From only this part of the statement, it shows me that this high school is not only an active learning community; it is also a distinct and caring community. This statement persuades me that every student that enters County Prep feels comfortable and that they are there because their future depends on this place. High school is the starting point to pick what you want to be when you grow up. I choose County Prep because it gives you a head start on college and I believe this is what my future depends

Clearly the data supports a need for change in the educational system in Stark County. The overall well-being of the population of the county can be linked back to students graduating from high school. So how can the county ensure that students are set up for success and have the best chance of completing high school? This is a very complex issue and one that can be attacked from multiple fronts. One tactic that could have a very positive impact on future generations in the community, and increase graduation rates, is getting students engaged in school at a young age through physical activity at recess.

Destination 2025 outlines several goals that SCS hopes to achieve. Those goals are as follows, 80% of seniors will be on track to learn in a post-secondary classroom or enter the workforce straight out of high school, nearly twice as many as in 2014; 90% of students will earn their high school diploma on time compared to just 68% in 2014; and every college or career-ready graduate in the class of 2025 will enroll in a post-secondary opportunity. With these goal targeting specific age groups and grades, the impact will be greatly seen. Parents, community members, and teachers alike are joining forces to ensure that the perfect level of high-leverage priorities are set in place to better focus on achieving the goals set forth. There is a 10 year gap between SCS standards now and standards in 2025, but those teaming up are making it known that it is important to have all efforts and resources evenly spaced out to guarantee early literacy, post-secondary readiness, teacher and staff development, high quality schools, and community engagement.

The expression “separate but equal, ” is the philosophy in which was the foundation of racial segregation in the late 19th and 20th centuries and is commonly referred to the Brown v. Board of Education case. “Separate but equal” is the process of granting all citizens of the state the same rights and freedoms but finding ways around the law that would allow racial discrimination to be applied in all situations. However, “separate but equal” is not always a problematic circumstance, as the Africentric Alternative School located in Toronto Ontario is an institution that was developed in order to cease the trend of African descent students dropping out of school. This institution is not an issue of segregation of African children as all races and religions are allowed to

I performed my field experience at Chiefland Elementary. Chiefland is a very small town with the population of six thousand. There are over eight hundred students enrolled at Chiefland Elementary. There are fifty-two instructional staff members and two administers. In those fifty-two staff members, there is one African American teacher and one male teacher; the rest are women. This is a white dominate school. In the school there is 73% Caucasian students, 17% African American students, and 4% Hispanic students. There is only 3% of students that are ESOL and 5% are Gifted and Talented. This semester we learned that in small areas and with low income schools, there are more Hispanics and African American people. In this case, Chiefland Elementary

The education score for Clark County is about 28.8 compared to the National score of 52.0. If to gaze deeper to this score, everyone can agree that Clark County score in terms of education is genuinely low. Education is one opportunity that is lacking from a lot of people.

When looking at the average of on-time high school graduates, Clark County averages at 31.5% while the National is about 47.1%. No matter how you view it, the education score in the county is still lower.

I strongly disagree with the decision of my school board, Dickenson County School Board, for making the decision to extend the school day an hour and a half. I believe that this decision will not help the students or staff who are affected by this decision. Extending the school day is a horrible decision because we go to school long enough as it is, also students and staff cannot do the activities after school that they enjoy. Lastly, addition to more time at school will cause students to stress more than they already do. I believe the school board should listen to the people who will be affected by this decision before a massive mistake is made.
