Most Classes Online At Texas High School For At-Risk Students

The Dallas Morning News (5/19, Holloway) reports, "Many school districts have programs to help at-risk students graduate" with a focus "on allowing students to work at their own pace, often at night." However, at Garland Non-Traditional High School in Texas "most classes are taken online," there "are no more than 15 students in a class, and each classroom has a teacher to explain concepts and answer questions." Garland's "success in increasing graduation rates led to recent recognition from the Texas Education Agency."
