VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

Valley High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Delano Joint Union High school district, located in Delano, CA with about 145 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, Valley High has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

Valley High School, located at 1927 Randolph St. in Delano, California, serves as a vital educational institution within the Delano Joint Union High School District. As an alternative education site, the school is designed to provide a supportive and flexible learning environment for students who may require a different academic approach than the traditional comprehensive high school setting. The school focuses on credit recovery, personalized instruction, and fostering a smaller, more intimate community that encourages students to stay on track toward graduation.

In addition to its core academic curriculum, Valley High emphasizes the development of life skills and career readiness to help students transition successfully into adulthood. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, the faculty is able to offer more targeted interventions and emotional support, addressing both the academic and personal challenges that students may face. The school remains a key resource for the Delano community, dedicated to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to earn their diploma and achieve their post-secondary goals.
