MCCLELLAN HIGH (CONTINUATION)

McClellan High (Continuation) is a Title I public high school that is part of the Center Joint Unified school district, located in Antelope, CA with about 71 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 5 teachers, McClellan High (Continuation) has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

McClellan High School, located on Watt Avenue in Antelope, California, functions as a **continuation high school** within the Twin Rivers Unified School District. Unlike traditional comprehensive high schools, continuation schools are specifically designed to provide an alternative educational path for students who are at risk of not graduating or who require a more flexible, personalized environment to complete their high school credits. The school focuses on credit recovery and providing targeted academic support to help students get back on track toward earning their diplomas.

The educational model at McClellan emphasizes smaller class sizes and a more intimate campus culture, which allows teachers to work closely with students to address individual learning needs and social-emotional challenges. By offering a different structure than the traditional campus experience, McClellan High serves as a vital resource for students who benefit from a non-traditional setting, aiming to increase graduation rates and ensure that every student has a viable path toward post-secondary success, whether that leads to college, vocational training, or the workforce.
