Why do some students continually return to the alternative school?  This happens to many students in our district.   Are there any factors which these students have in common?  Is it possible that some students would prefer the environment at the alternative school?  If so, why?  If no, why are they having problems being successful on a regular campus?

    I think all of your questions are quite relevant and have needed some kind of answer(s) for some time. I am curious as to how you will gain answers to these questions.

    this one really interests me.

    It seems to me, from the “outside”, that perhaps a district should offer a truly alternative school for those kids that really seem to prefer the more rigid structured school setting.

    I agree with both of those comments. For some of our students they find it more peaceful within the confines of our little community.

    Too bad we don’t have two different sections of DAEP (for all students…not just those who qualify for ACE).
