HOUSTON

Houston is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Lodi Unified school district, located in Acampo, CA with about 202 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Houston has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The address provided, 4600 E. Acampo Rd. in Acampo, California, corresponds to **Houston School**, a specialized educational facility within the Lodi Unified School District. The school primarily serves students in grades K–8 who are referred by their home districts due to specific behavioral or social-emotional needs. Because it operates as an alternative education setting, the school maintains a smaller, structured environment designed to provide more intensive support and individualized attention than a traditional campus.

The mission of Houston School centers on creating a safe and therapeutic learning atmosphere where students can develop the academic and social skills necessary to succeed. The curriculum is tailored to help students manage behavioral challenges while keeping pace with state educational standards. By utilizing a combination of small class sizes, dedicated counseling support, and personalized behavior intervention plans, the school aims to help students stabilize their progress and, whenever possible, transition back to their comprehensive home school campuses.
