Blanche Kelso Bruce Academy

BKB is not your traditional high school. It’s a charter school for youth who have been expelled from school, have not been engaged in school and are failing, or have experiences with the juvenile justice system and have missed school. As a social worker I’ve had several students attend this campus and it worked well for each of them. Yes, some of the other students skip class or misbehave, but the students who want to learn have the benefit of working with teachers who really want them to succeed. The accelerated schedule also means that students can catch up on what they have missed, enabling some who wouldn’t have been able to to graduate on time. They will accept students with IEPs and are well versed at working with kids who have both learning and behavioral issues.
