Alter Ed Center

Alter Ed Center serves students in Odessa who need an alternative educational setting, and its mission is less about test scores and more about keeping kids connected to their education during challenging stretches in their lives. Odessa is a working-class West Texas oil town with a tight-knit community feel, and families here tend to value schools that meet students where they are rather than turning them away. For the right student, a program like this can be a lifeline — a chance to stay on track when a traditional classroom environment isn't the best fit.
