There are five public schools that exclusively cater to children with special needs. They are Calvin Hunsinger School and Paul B. Stephens Exceptional Center in Clearwater, Hamilton Disston School in Gulfport and Nina Harris Exceptional Student Education Center and Richard L. Sanders School in Pinellas Park. Review the lists of public and private schools to find out the special services they offer. These schools cater to students who lack the motivation to succeed in mainstream systems. Teachers can give students more attention, either individually or in a small group.
Pupils concentrate on basic skills and personal responsibility to improve achievement.
Enrollment is limited to 180 at each challenge school and 420 at each discovery school. The district provides transportation. All rights reserved.
