Pine Ridge Alternative Center

Pine Ridge Alternative Center is a school located in Fort Lauderdale, FL, serving grades 0–12 and approximately 40 students. Operated by Broward, the campus sits about 23.8 miles from The Miami's newsroom and is part of The Miami's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 11 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 3.6:1. That ratio is below the state average for FL, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.
