CAMBRIDGE CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL

Cambridge Continuation High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Fresno Unified school district, located in Fresno, CA with about 494 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 16 teachers, Cambridge Continuation High has a student/teacher ratio of about 30:1. 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.

Cambridge Continuation High School, located on South Chestnut Avenue in Fresno, California, serves as an alternative educational setting within the Fresno Unified School District. As a continuation school, its primary mission is to provide a flexible and supportive environment for students who may have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. The school is designed to help students get back on track toward graduation by offering personalized academic pathways, credit recovery opportunities, and smaller class sizes that foster closer relationships between students and faculty.

The program at Cambridge is specifically structured to address the diverse needs of at-risk youth, emphasizing both academic achievement and social-emotional growth. By providing a more intimate learning atmosphere, the school aims to re-engage students who are behind in credits or facing challenges that impede their progress in a standard high school environment. Ultimately, Cambridge Continuation High School functions as a vital safety net, ensuring that all students in the district have access to the resources and support necessary to earn their high school diploma and prepare for post-secondary success.
