I am a present student at the alternative high school in elkhorn wisconsin and it is not for bad children it is for children who have had problems learning in the regular high school the alternative high school gives students more one on one time with the teachers and you feel less like a fool for asking questions there is no fighting or name calling it is a better learning enviroment for students who really want to graduate on time and it provides the right information not to mention students can take college courses and the school pays for it . this school is the best way for young adults to accomplish what they want and to get on the right track of life

Test scores

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
