The Point Alternative Center, an alternative high school, stands out for its unique student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to the other schools. Despite being an alternative school, it had a 0% dropout rate for the 2021-2022 school year, which is noteworthy. The school also has significantly higher spending per student, likely due to the specialized nature of its alternative program, and a lower student-teacher ratio, indicating a focus on individualized attention and support for these students.
