I believe that not every child is meant for public school. By nature, public schools are forced to operate for the majority. Large class sizes, time pressure, teaching for EOG testing all limit teacher. Students are offered the material once and the class moves on. Public schools provide limited opportunities for remediation or treating a student as an individual rather than a member of a group. Public schools deal with behavioral issues only by punishment and isolation-which is not always the only correct answer, but is the only one public schools have the ability to provide.

My son is a 2006 graduate at Stevens Preparatory Academy. He entered with a GPA of 1.7 and graduated with a 3.0. This Fall he is entering college - amazing since I had my doubts he would graduate high school. Stevens Prep offered him the things he needed - flexible school times, small class size, and most importantly the building of his self esteem by letting him make decisions regarding his progress.

From Dr. CM Stevens

The main goal and mission of Stevens Prep Academy is "to advocate success in all students". We achieve this goal by various means. The first thing we do is to accept each student at the time they need help, instead of telling them to waste time until the next semester or quarter.

The second thing we do is academic placement testing. We do this to find the strengths and weaknesses of every student versus throwing into an already on-going class as most other schools do.

The third and very important thing that we do is offer small class sizes with 1 on 1 assistance and instruction.

And the fourth thing we do is weekly evaluation of an educational program using the NC state curriculum guidelines but, conforming those guidelines to the level and pace of the student. When done properly, that spells student success.
