Our students, for many reasons, are unable to function productively in the conventional school setting. Our purpose is to assist students in achieving academic success and improving self-esteem. All referrals are screened by a committee of district-wide counselors. In most cases, students are expected to return to their sending schools at the end of the school year. Clemente offers small classes in a structured environment.
Students are able to receive individual attention in their classes.
Our staff personally delivers evaluation reports to our student's homes every nine weeks, at their parent's convenience. We stress the development of academic and life skills necessary for future success. Students and staff are on first name basis. Rules and regulations are formulated and carried through by the efforts of staff, students, and parents. At school-wide weekly rap sessions, staff and students work together in making decisions and demonstrating positive interpersonal relationships.
