Beyond the Classroom: Residential facilities
Two residential facilities are located within the Johnston School District. ChildServe is a facility for children PK-12 with multiple disabilities. Ellipsis is a residential facility for young men ranging in ages from 11 to 18. Students from both facilities receive educational services in our school system, either in classes on their campus or within a school building. These facilities bring students from all over the state, creating an enriching environment for all learners.
