School Overview

The Pines School, located at 7555 4th Ave in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, is an alternative education facility operating under the Centennial School District (ISD 12). It is specifically designed to provide a supportive and structured environment for students who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting. The school focuses on meeting the diverse social, emotional, and academic needs of its students, often serving those who require credit recovery or a more personalized approach to graduation.

As part of the district’s "RJC" (Residential Juvenile Center) initiatives, The Pines School plays a critical role in offering continuous educational services to youth who are placed in residential settings. The curriculum is tailored to ensure that these students remain on track with their academic goals, utilizing a smaller student-to-teacher ratio to foster accountability and academic progress. By prioritizing individualized instruction and a restorative approach, the school aims to help students overcome barriers and successfully transition back into their home schools or into the workforce.
