MIDDLE COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

Middle College High is a public high school that is part of the Lodi Unified school district, located in Stockton, CA with about 248 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 8 teachers, Middle College High has a student/teacher ratio of about 31:1. 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.

Middle College High School (MCHS), located on the campus of San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, California, is a unique educational partnership between Stockton Unified School District and the college. Designed for students in grades 10 through 12, the school offers a specialized academic environment that allows students to complete their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credits. By immersing students in a collegiate atmosphere, the school fosters independence, academic rigor, and a clear pathway toward higher education, making it an ideal setting for motivated students looking for an alternative to the traditional high school experience.

The program is structured to provide a bridge between secondary and post-secondary education, offering students the opportunity to graduate with both a high school diploma and significant progress toward an associate degree or certificate. Because the school is situated directly on the Delta College campus, students gain early exposure to college-level expectations, resources, and social environments. This setting is particularly beneficial for those seeking a more mature learning community, as it emphasizes self-discipline, time management, and a seamless transition into future university or career endeavors.
