BIG PINE HIGH SCHOOL

Big Pine High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Big Pine Unified school district, located in Big Pine, CA with about 32 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 4 teachers, Big Pine 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.

Big Pine High School, located in the small Owens Valley community of Big Pine, California, serves as the central secondary education hub for the Big Pine Unified School District.
