RAMONA OPPORTUNITY HIGH SCHOOL

Ramona Opportunity High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 49 students offering grade levels from 7th 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 4 teachers, Ramona Opportunity 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.

Ramona Opportunity High School, located on South Alma Avenue in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, is a specialized institution within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). As an "opportunity" school, its primary mission is to serve students who may have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. The program is designed to provide a smaller, more supportive environment that focuses on credit recovery, behavioral intervention, and personalized academic guidance to help students stay on track toward graduation.

The school emphasizes a structured approach to learning, aiming to re-engage students who have faced academic or social challenges. By offering smaller class sizes and more individualized attention from staff, Ramona Opportunity High seeks to build students' confidence, improve attendance, and foster the social-emotional skills necessary for success. The ultimate goal of the campus is to provide its students with a second chance to earn their diplomas and prepare for post-secondary opportunities, such as community college, vocational training, or the workforce.
