Alternative Options

Alternative schools are an option for any secondary student registered with Reynolds School District. These schools are a choice and each have their own application process. RSD has limited number of slots at each of these sites and students may be wait listed if there are no slots available at their desired option. Students and families may also be give information about other sites if the one they are seeking is unavailable. Please contact your schools counselor with any additional questions.

We also have relationships with: Rosemary Anderson HS- East, Open School East, Helensview and OYCP.
