year-round calendar while 41 offer extended-day programs;

its feeder elementary and middle schools. Each of the
alternative schools relates to a high school, while the
community schools and adult learning center are extensions of
regular high school programs.
The system's 3,921 teachers make up 51 percent of APS staff
personnel. Forty-five (45) percent of all APS teachers have
advanced degrees. APS teachers have, on average, 15 years of
