DESERT OASIS HIGH (CONTINUATION)

Desert Oasis High (Continuation) is a Title I public high school that is part of the Central Union High school district, located in El Centro, CA with about 116 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 9 teachers, Desert Oasis High (Continuation) has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Desert Oasis High School, located in El Centro, California, serves as the district’s continuation high school. Designed as an alternative educational setting, the school provides a smaller, more personalized environment for students who may struggle in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. Its primary mission is to offer a flexible path toward graduation, allowing students to recover credits, improve attendance, and gain the necessary skills to earn their high school diploma.

The school focuses on meeting the unique academic and social-emotional needs of its student body by offering smaller class sizes and more direct interaction with faculty and staff. By providing a structured yet supportive atmosphere, Desert Oasis helps students overcome obstacles that may have hindered their progress elsewhere. Ultimately, the school serves as a vital resource for the community, ensuring that students have a dedicated space to succeed and prepare for their post-secondary goals.
