Background of Students Attending AMIT Vocational Centers

• Students who are not able to manage in typical educational environments — including special education classrooms, individualized classrooms, and/or specialized tracks — are referred to the vocational school by way of social services.

• Students that typically come from a low socioeconomic stratum: 7 and above on the socioeconomic scale.

• Students with a host of challenges: personal, educational, and social.

• Among the more prominent issues of this student body: lack of attendance (absentee rate higher than 30%), severe behavioral problems, and criminal records. Most students must work to support themselves and their families.

• The organizational change at the AMIT Network level and focus on vocational training has enabled a focused approach on these specific student needs.
