"We RAES up!"
The Regional Alternative Educational Services (R.A.E.S.) is an ROE 33 ran alternative school for students living in the service areas located within the Regional Office of Education #33 districts (Henderson, Knox, Mercer, and Warren counties). We serve students who for a variety of reasons need an alternative educational setting to be successful academically.
Our programs use a combination of online curriculum (through Edgenuity and I-Pathways) and teacher-led instruction to meet the diverse learning styles of our students. Our R.A.E.S. staff recognizes the individual and unique needs of the variety of students in our programs and strives to meet those needs.
R.A.E.S offers a comprehensive and robust selection of academic programs:
The average enrollment for all RAES programs is 125 students.
All enrolled students of RAES are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of this school year. No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.
