WESTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL

Westside High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Dos Palos Oro Loma Joint Unified school district, located in South Dos Palos, CA with about 51 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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 5 teachers, Westside High has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Westside High School is an alternative education site located in South Dos Palos, California, operating under the Dos Palos-Oro Loma Joint Unified School District. The school serves students who may benefit from a more personalized or non-traditional academic setting, focusing on credit recovery and individual growth to ensure pupils remain on the path toward graduation. By maintaining a smaller campus environment, the school is able to provide more targeted instructional support and foster a closer connection between students and staff.

As part of the broader district infrastructure, Westside High adheres to the district’s mission of preparing students for future success, whether that leads to higher education, vocational training, or the workforce. The school utilizes the district’s centralized resources to support its curriculum while addressing the specific social and academic needs of its student population.
