High School 6th - 12th

School Overview

Point Alternative Center, located in Baytown, Texas, operates as a specialized educational facility within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District (GCCISD). Unlike a traditional comprehensive high school, the center serves as a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP). Its primary objective is to provide a structured, focused environment for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to violations of the district’s code of conduct.

The school is designed to keep students on track academically while addressing the behavioral challenges that led to their placement. By maintaining a smaller, more supervised setting, Point Alternative Center allows students to continue their coursework under the guidance of specialized staff, with the ultimate goal of transitioning them back into the general education population once their disciplinary requirements have been met.
