About Priority Intervention Academy

Priority Intervention Academy is a public alternative school in Lubbock, Texas, for students in grades 6–12 who live in the Lubbock Independent School District. There are about 108 students at the school, and there is a low student-to-teacher ratio of 8 to 1. This means that each student gets a lot of one-on-one help and instruction. Most of the time, Priority Intervention Academy is for students who have had trouble in regular classrooms. It doesn't follow the usual college prep paths; instead, it focuses on behavioral intervention, credit recovery, and getting students interested in school. The students come from many different backgrounds, but most of them are Hispanic, African American, or White. Most of the students are at-risk learners, which means they often need extra help with their schoolwork and how they act. The school doesn't report standardized test scores in math and reading because it has a different focus. It also doesn't usually give college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT.
