REDWOOD CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL

Redwood Continuation High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Castro Valley Unified school district, located in Castro Valley, CA with about 109 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 8 teachers, Redwood Continuation High has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

Redwood Continuation High School, located in Castro Valley, California, serves as an alternative educational setting designed to support students who may benefit from a more flexible, personalized approach to learning than what is offered in a traditional comprehensive high school environment. As a continuation school, its primary mission is to help students get back on track toward graduation by offering smaller class sizes, individualized instruction, and a supportive atmosphere. The school focuses on credit recovery and social-emotional growth, aiming to provide a pathway for students to successfully earn their diplomas despite previous academic challenges or personal obstacles.

The school is part of the Castro Valley Unified School District and is committed to fostering a close-knit community where students can receive more direct attention from teachers and staff. By prioritizing a tailored academic plan, Redwood empowers students to take ownership of their education, overcome barriers, and prepare for life after high school—whether that includes post-secondary education, vocational training, or entering the workforce. The program emphasizes both academic competency and personal resilience, ensuring that every student has the resources necessary to succeed in a non-traditional educational structure.
