Attention Parents/Guardians of High School students. Is your child behind in credits? At risk of failing High School, or doesn’t do well in traditional classroom settings? Assata is designed to help students get caught up on their credits and succeed in school.
Assata High School was founded in January of 1992 as an alternative school in the heart of Milwaukee. The school was formed by a group of committed community members concerned about the quality of education that Milwaukee’s Youth were receiving. Assata High School operates in partnerships with the Division of Contracted School Services through Milwaukee Public Schools.
