At a school graduation ceremony, speakers described the school’s small size and staff support as central to students’ academic recovery and on-time graduation. Student (Speaker 1) said the school felt like “a family” and credited teachers for making her feel supported. "Something that I really liked about this school is that the support that you have when you come here. You're not alone," she said. A staff member (Speaker 2) said multiple students had "recovered their credits, raised their GPA, and was just overall happy and graduated right on time." School staff (Speaker 3) described the setting as "a smaller environment" where students who need quieter classrooms or more one-on-one help can come voluntarily. Student (Speaker 1) said the teachers repeatedly checked understanding and "will go over it and over it until you get it," and that she is graduating early and obtained a job at 16. A family member (Speaker 4) expressed pride in the student’s progress: "We are very proud of her with her ups and downs, as she has been through very hard times." The speakers emphasized individualized attention — counselors and teachers connecting with students beyond their assigned classes — and peer support: "Everyone knows each other here and everyone supports each other here," Student (Speaker 1) said.
