TSLC specializes in educating students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Students who attend TSLC are still students at WRMS or WRHS and will receive their diploma and transcript from WRHS once they meet graduation requirements.

WRAHS specializes in educating students who require a different learning environment. Students attending WRAHS are required to meet the same graduation requirements as students attending the main high school along with a few additional requirements and will receive a diploma from the main high school after meeting all requirements.
