\stablished 25 years ago under principal Marly Larson, the Brainerd Middle Level Alternative Program School sought to provide students needing additional help in an environment in which they could feel safe and valued while receiving the education they needed in order to be academically successful. With its low student to teacher ratio, the school provides specialized education for students who otherwise may fall through the cracks at larger schools.
