CALERO HIGH SCHOOL

Calero High is a Title I public high school that is part of the East Side Union High school district, located in San Jose, CA with about 370 students offering grade levels from 10th 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 23 teachers, Calero High has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Calero High School is an alternative education campus located in San Jose, California, operating under the East Side Union High School District (ESUHSD).
