School Overview

Bragg Street Academy, located in Sanford, North Carolina, functions as an alternative learning environment within the Lee County School system. Unlike traditional comprehensive high schools, the academy is designed to serve students who may benefit from a more personalized, structured, or flexible educational setting.
