INDEPENDENCE CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL

Independence Continuation High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Golden Valley Unified school district, located in Madera, CA with about 17 students offering grade levels from 10th 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 2 teachers, Independence Continuation High has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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.

Independence Continuation High School, located in Madera, California, is part of the Golden Valley Unified School District. As a continuation high school, it is designed to provide a flexible and supportive alternative learning environment for students who may be at risk of not graduating or who benefit from a smaller, more personalized educational setting than what is offered at a traditional comprehensive high school. The school focuses on helping students recover credits, stay on track for graduation, and develop the academic and personal skills necessary for post-secondary success.

The mission of Independence Continuation High centers on meeting the unique needs of its diverse student body by fostering a close-knit community and a structured atmosphere. By offering smaller class sizes and individualized attention from staff, the school aims to re-engage students in their education and provide them with the tools needed to overcome obstacles.
