This document contains a State-by-State directory of 464 alternative public schools. Each listing in the directory contains the school name, address, grade levels, and enrollment. For purposes of this directory, an alternative public school has been defined as any school within a community that (1) provides alternative learning experiences to the conventional school programs and (2) is available by choice to every family at no extra cost. The publication also defines several types of alternative schools, examines the rapid increase in alternative public schools in the United States, and gives summary statistics on the types and sizes of these schools.
