HANFORD COMMUNITY DAY

Hanford Community Day is a Title I public high school that is part of the Hanford Joint Union High school district, located in Hanford, CA with about 29 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 2 teachers, Hanford Community Day has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

**Hanford Community Day School**, located at 120 E. Grangeville Blvd. in Hanford, California, serves as an alternative educational setting designed to support students who require a more structured and individualized environment than a traditional comprehensive high school. Operating under the umbrella of the Hanford Joint Union High School District, the school provides a specialized program aimed at students who may be at risk of academic failure, have faced behavioral challenges, or are transitioning from other placements.

The mission of the school is to provide a focused, small-group learning environment that fosters personal and academic accountability. By maintaining smaller class sizes and lower student-to-teacher ratios, Hanford Community Day School emphasizes credit recovery and social-emotional growth. The faculty works closely with students to create personalized success plans, helping them overcome specific barriers to education while ensuring they remain on the path toward meeting graduation requirements or successfully reintegrating into the district’s mainstream high school programs.
