Laurel Regional Special Education Center

Nestled in the small city environment of Lynchburg, Virginia, the Laurel Regional Special Education Center operates as an active, single-school public district dedicated to specialized academic and vocational programming. Located at 401 Monticello Avenue, this non-charter center serves the broader Lynchburg metropolitan area by providing focused educational interventions tailored to unique student needs rather than traditional, standard grade-level tracks. As an essential regional resource, the open facility offers specialized learning environments designed to foster student independence, functional growth, and practical skill development.

To effectively support its specialized mandate, the district maintains a substantial and highly dedicated workforce comprising 106 full-time equivalent staff members. Direct classroom instruction is led by 28 full-time educators who work closely alongside 30 instructional aides, creating a remarkably intensive student-to-educator dynamic essential for individualized learning. This instructional core is further underpinned by a robust team of 48 support staff professionals who provide vital ancillary, therapeutic, and administrative backing. Federal educational metrics highlight this comprehensive staffing framework, reflecting the district's strong commitment to offering a fully supported, wraparound learning environment for the community it serves.
