The Reach Academy, located at Fort Winnebago (Portage), is designed for elementary students (grades 2 through 5) who have been identified with an emotional/behavioral disability and are experiencing significant behavioral, social and academic difficulties within the traditional school setting. The Reach Academy is designed to transition students back to the traditional school setting when a pattern of safe, successful behavior has been achieved.

Reach Academy staff focus on instruction that is directly linked to the State Standards, while focusing on each individual student’s academic and social-emotional needs. The school provides a highly structured setting that encourages positive behavioral feedback and supports for students. Student cost is calculated based on overall student enrollment and overall program costs.
