CALVINE HIGH SCHOOL

Calvine High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Elk Grove Unified school district, located in Sacramento, CA with about 161 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, Calvine High has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. 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.

Calvine High School, located at 8333 Vintage Park Drive in Sacramento, is an alternative education campus within the Elk Grove Unified School District. The school is specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a more flexible or personalized learning environment than what is provided in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. By offering smaller class sizes and a more intimate campus atmosphere, Calvine High focuses on helping students overcome academic hurdles, regain credits, and stay on track for graduation.

The school’s mission centers on fostering student success through a combination of academic intervention, credit recovery programs, and social-emotional support. The faculty and staff emphasize building strong relationships with students to encourage engagement and personal accountability. Ultimately, Calvine High serves as an essential resource for the community, providing an inclusive pathway for students to earn their diplomas and prepare for post-secondary opportunities, whether in the workforce, trade schools, or higher education.
