 There is a direct link between truancy and juvenile delinquency. If your son has poor study habits, he may be struggling with reading, writing or math. When students come to Rawhide, most are four or more years below the reading level they should be at and have not developed consistent study or homework habits. Without these basic skills they are simply not motivated to try when it comes to school.
As part of our initial assessment process, your son will take a pretest to determine his educational skill levels. Then, we will help him set specific goals for his Individual Education Plan (IEP) while he is here. |

 Class sizes are small so your son will get the individual attention he needs to make progress in reaching his educational goals.
Starr Academy offers classes in math, reading, social studies, science, computers, art, physical education and life skills. In addition, Title I Math and Title I Reading are available for students who are deficient in these areas.
Many students make dramatic improvements in academics, and the teaching staff at the Academy work hard to help them catch up in their credits before leaving the ranch. Students also gain confidence and find hope in a brighter future where school and learning are no longer impossible feats, but have become the means of achieving their goals.
In addition to a top-notch education, students will have the opportunity to particiate in Starr Academy's interscholastic basketball and track teams if they chose to do so.
