Metro: Mastering Educational Tasks Regardless of Obstacles
History
In 1974, the Cedar Rapids Community School District established an alternative school in a red, brick firehouse. The new high school, Metro, began with the firm belief that all kids are worthwhile, and should have an opportunity to complete their high school education, regardless of obstacles. Metro High School began with 3 staff and 40 students, today it is the largest alternative school in Iowa, with over 50 certified teachers and support staff serving more than 400 students.
Awards and recognitions
In the 1984-85 school year, Metro High School was selected as one of the top 212 schools in the country by the United States Department of Education. In 1991 Metro received the FINE (First in the Nation in Education) award. In 1992 Metro was selected by Redbook as one of the top 140 schools in the country. In 1993 Metro won the National Secondary School Recognition Program Award for a second time. Now called the Blue Ribbon Schools Award, Metro High School was again recognized as one of the best schools in the nation, and one of two Iowa schools to win the award twice.
