Hi everyone,
My family is moving to the Providence area over the summer, and I’m trying to figure out public high school options for my son.
He’s 17 and has had a rough few years with school, mostly attendance and academics, and he got into some fights at his old school. He’s now at a small alternative public charter high school near Boston and is doing a lot better. The smaller classes, structure, staff who know how to calm things down, and teachers who actually care have made a huge difference for him.
Are there any public high schools or alternative charter school programs in or near Providence that are like that? I’ve been looking online, but it’s hard to tell what a school is really like from a website.
Any advice from local parents or people who know the schools would be really appreciated.
