Alternative Schools: Approaches for Students at Risk

The Northwest Sampler

The following Northwest Sampler features nine alternative schools in the five Northwest states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Though they differ in funding arrangements, locations, services, grade spans, student age spans, and other aspects, they all have some of the characteristics generally recognized as key to effective alternative education for at-risk youth. The newest was established in 1996, the oldest in 1977. Included for each site is location and contact information, a program description, and observed outcomes and keys to success as reported by the principal.
