SIERRA HIGH SCHOOL

Sierra High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Azusa Unified school district, located in Glendora, CA with about 180 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 12 teachers, Sierra High has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

Sierra High School, located at 1134 S. Barranca in Glendora, California, is a continuation high school within the Glendora Unified School District. The school is specifically designed to provide an alternative educational setting for students who may benefit from a more personalized, flexible, and supportive environment than a traditional comprehensive high school. By focusing on smaller class sizes and individualized instruction, Sierra High aims to help students recover credits, stay on track for graduation, and prepare for post-secondary opportunities.

The school emphasizes a close-knit community atmosphere, prioritizing student-teacher relationships to ensure that each learner receives the academic and emotional support necessary for success. Beyond its core curriculum, Sierra High is committed to fostering personal responsibility, academic growth, and career readiness. By tailoring its approach to the unique needs of its student body, the school serves as a vital resource for those looking for a non-traditional path toward earning their high school diploma.
