Some 2,000 alternative schools, designed to remove disruptive students from the classroom, exist nationwide.

Critics also question whether isolating students is beneficial.

When Wake County purchased 500 acres a decade ago near Holly Springs for a proposed South Wake Sanitary Landfill, the town's population was under 1,000.
