Overview
  • Lawton muralWe, the Lawton community, encourage academic excellence, critical thinking, tolerance and strength of character. Through scholarship, creativity, exploration and service, we grow individually and as a community. We are committed to educating the whole child with respect, responsibility, and compassion. It is the mission of Lawton Alternative School to produce students who achieve academic excellence, exhibit good character, explore personal interests, and acquire the necessary habits of mind and behavior that enable them to attain high personal, education and career aspirations. We want students to feel welcome, safe, and free to ask questions.

    Our teachers design lesson plans that maximize the opportunities for our students to become actively involved in mastering the specific subject matter. Our dedicated teachers also maintain regular communication with students' parents and involve parents in their children's education. Teachers provide progress reports to parents in addition to regular report cards. Information to parents focuses on assessments, achievement data, meeting standards, and completion of requirements for grade level and promotion. Teachers at Lawton create classrooms that are responsive to all diverse learners. They engage students in discussion, debate, creative thinking, questioning, and teamwork, and promote relationship building and interdependence.
