The purpose of the alternative high school is to decrease the school district's dropout rate.[2] Many of the students enrolled here had problems in their previous schools. Classroom configurations include both traditional settings and collaborative learning settings that are more appropriate for team and project-based learning. The schools mascot, Mavericks, was chosen to reflect a student body that is "unorthodox, independent-minded and individualist, nonconformist, free speech, original or eccentric."[3]
The school is housed in a building that originally housed a medical-office complex at the former Davenport Osteopathic Hospital. In addition to the original building that is 37,355 square feet (3,500 m2), the district added a physical activity center at 14,300 square feet (1,300 m2) and it contains a multipurpose stage, a junior high-sized basketball/sports court, locker rooms, bathrooms, and two classrooms.[4]
