FUTURES HIGH SCHOOL

Futures High is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Twin Rivers Unified school district, located in North Highlands, CA with about 399 students offering grade levels from 7th 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 15 teachers, Futures High has a student/teacher ratio of about 26:1. 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.

Futures High, located in North Highlands, California, is a public charter school operating under the Gateway Community Charters (GCC) network. The school is specifically designed to serve the needs of newcomer and English Language Learner (ELL) students in the 9th through 12th grades. Its primary mission is to provide a supportive, inclusive academic environment that helps students transition into the American school system while simultaneously working toward their high school diplomas and developing English language proficiency.

The school’s curriculum is tailored to address the unique cultural and linguistic backgrounds of its diverse student body. By integrating intensive English language development with core academic subjects, Futures High aims to bridge the gap for students who may have had interrupted schooling or limited prior exposure to English. In addition to standard academics, the school emphasizes holistic support, including social-emotional learning and college and career readiness programs, ensuring that graduates are prepared for post-secondary opportunities despite the challenges of navigating a new country and educational system.
