Chaparral High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Grossmont Union High school district, located in El Cajon, CA with about 73 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 6 teachers, Chaparral High 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.

Beyond its core academic offerings, Chaparral High emphasizes personal growth, behavioral accountability, and vocational readiness. The school fosters a close-knit community atmosphere where staff work closely with students to address individual barriers to learning.
