There are schools in America intent on breaking away from the norm.

From an “off-the-grid” school that relies on solar panels to classrooms in a public library, there are countless schools reimagining education.

Startup Noodle has released its first ever Innovative Schools report, which identifies 41 public, private and charter K-12 schools that rise above the rest. Launched by Princeton Review Founder John Katzman, Noodle provides educational resources to parents and teachers, and it spent the last year examining 140,000 schools to come up with this list.

Alliance School founded in 2005 in Milwaukee is a charter high school that calls itself the first in the nation with the explicit mission to reduce bullying.

“50% of our students identify as LGBT,” said cofounder Tina Owen, who opened the school with a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Most of the school’s 196 students experienced bullying or harassment at previous schools. But those aren’t the only challenges they’ve faced. As much as 76% of the students are from low-income families (some are also in foster care) and 28% have disabilities.

Owen said the school’s philosophy is infused into the curriculum and into extracurricular activities.

“We teach them about different cultures and communities to raise their awareness, and our students also go to schools in the area to spread our anti-bullying message,” she said.
