School Overview

The Perry County Alternative Center, located in New Augusta, Mississippi, serves as a specialized educational facility within the Perry County School District. Designed to provide a structured and supportive learning environment, the center focuses on students who may require an academic setting different from a traditional classroom. Its primary goal is to address the specific educational, behavioral, and social needs of these students while ensuring they remain on track to meet state curriculum standards and graduation requirements.

The program emphasizes a combination of academic instruction and behavioral intervention, aiming to prepare students for a successful transition back to their home schools or into future career pathways. By maintaining smaller class sizes and a targeted focus, the center works to provide the personalized attention necessary for students to overcome academic challenges. Through its partnership with the broader Perry County school system, the center serves as an essential resource for students navigating unique barriers to traditional educational success.
