Do Full Service Schools Help High Risk Students?

I think this blog answers this question with a resounding yes. Full Service schools help all students not just high risk students. By providing social and health services for students, you are improving their educational outcome and the community they live in. Full Service classrooms also offer students early learning programs and remedial education. Early learning programs are a wonderful way to get students the help they need at the earliest time possible. By offering testing and placing them in programs that address their needs at an early age, they will have a better chance once of keeping up in the classroom. Another aspect I like about Full Service Classrooms is they also offer After-school programs and youth development programs. All the programs Full Service classrooms offer are essential to creating the best environment and opportunities for High-Risk-students

I think this type of classroom will benefit students who are having difficulties. Not only do they work with the students but families are also involved. It encourages parents to be involved in their child's education. Many high risk students need more than academics. By Full Service schools students are being giving access to counseling, health and dental care, and nutritional services. I think it is important to work with and help the whole student not just the academics. I think that it is crucial to a students learning, to have open communication between home and school. Full Service classrooms promote a safe climate, they support an respect their students and they make for a stronger community.
