Approximately 25 % of students live below the

Some have experienced physical or emotional
abuse or neglect, while gangs, substance abuse
and the juvenile justice system have confronted
others.
In spite of their challenges, each student has the
opportunity to start fresh at Switzer Learning

stones to success.
We are proud of our students and dedicate a portion
of this website to their accomplishments.
