Ranch Academy

Size

Ranch Academy is the only school in Ranch Academy, so its 64 students are the district's whole enrollment. Its 8 closest high schools sit a median 15 miles away with a median enrollment of 709; Ranch Academy is smaller than most of them.

NCES lists it as an alternative school: one that serves students whose needs a regular school may not meet, or that offers a non-traditional program alongside regular schools. As a charter school it is publicly funded and charges no tuition, but it is run under a charter rather than directly by a local school board.
