STARS Alternative High School

103 Third Street
Solvay, NY  13209

The Alternative High School program is designed for high school students who have experienced difficulty in attaining school success within the traditional environment.  The program provides grade level academics within a supportive setting. The development of solid academic skills is stressed along with developing pro-social skills.  The goal of the program is to provide students with a learning environment that will lead to their high school graduation.

Students who are most successful in this program have the ability academically, but have failed to demonstrate this ability.  The students may have a number of risk factors operating within their lives that may include poor coping skills, low academic performance, lack of identity with their home school, and/or family difficulties.

A full-time social worker at the Alternative High School provides individual and group counseling as needed.  The social worker plays a vital role in linking the student and his/her family to community resources as well.
