Would a school of choice with a credit recovery learning model be the right fit for your children? In this guide for parents and caregivers, we will explain more about what it means for a school to have a credit recovery learning model and give examples of schools in San Antonio that offer this model. Our goal is to help you understand the range of learning models that are available in schools of choice and enroll your children in high-quality schools that are the right fit for their needs.

What Are Credit Recovery Schools?

Credit recovery schools provide students who are at risk of dropping out with extra support and flexibility while earning a high school diploma. Signs that a student might be a good fit for a credit recovery high school program include having fewer high school credits than expected for their age or having a pattern of missing many days of school in a row. Students may have attempted but failed some of their high school courses and need to re-take them to graduate.

For some students, the flexibility of credit recovery programs is what makes the difference in allowing them to earn a high school diploma. Depending on the program, class time may take up only part of the day, allowing students to spend the rest of their day working to support themselves and their families or taking care of young family members.

San Antonio Public Schools That Offer Credit Recovery

In San Antonio, students can find credit recovery learning models at several open enrollment public charter schools and in-district charter schools. These are tuition-free, public schools that are open to all students in a wide enrollment area, as we explain in our guide to school models. Independent school districts in our region also have programs to support students who live within their boundaries and are at risk of dropping out.

Credit Recovery ​​in Other Education Settings

Beyond public schools, there are other education settings designed to high school students who are at risk of dropping out of school, including private schools and full-time online schools. Learn more by reading these blog posts on our site:

Homeschooling offers the ultimate flexibility for teens and young adults who are juggling education with work and family obligations; however, record keeping and documentation (such as transcripts and diplomas) can be a challenge. Pathways Home Education and Beyond Education can assist families with setting up their homeschool environments.

Identifying credit recovery schools as a desired learning model is an important step in your school search. As a parent or caregiver who is researching schools for your offspring, or a teen who is researching schools for yourself, the range of options can be overwhelming. Remember that you know your situation better than anyone else. As you develop an understanding of different learning models, you can narrow the field to the ones where your family member will likely be their happiest and most successful. Visiting School Discovery Day events is a great way for parents to meet with representatives from multiple schools in one day, ask questions, and get a feel for the school’s climate and culture. The San Antonio Charter Moms team wants to make it as easy as possible to find the right school for your child as easy as possible. We have a wealth of resources, including our Facebook discussion group, interviews with schools, and a weekly newsletter, to help you make the best choice.
