Hope Youth Ranch offers educational opportunities working in cooperation with the Webster Parish School Board. The school formally known as the Evergreen School is located on Ranch property and is an important part of the Ranch life. Hope Youth Ranch Alternative Center is an accredited school supervised by the Webster Parish School Board. Four teachers and one paraprofessional are currently provided by the local school district and are directly responsible for all educational activities. In addition, HYR maintains and average of nine to ten staff on duty at the school to help supervise and tutor children as needed.

The on-grounds school allows for increased levels of supervision from the direct care staff, administration, therapist and case managers. The availability of these key personnel allows for increased therapeutic intervention and assist the school staff in the daily instruction of activities.

Future plans call for vocational training for carpentry and greenhouse an nursery activities.
