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 19 teachers, El Camino High (Continuation) has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

El Camino High School in Whittier, California, is a specialized "continuation" high school within the Whittier Union High School District. Unlike a traditional comprehensive high school, El Camino is designed to provide a more flexible, supportive, and personalized educational environment for students who may be at risk of not graduating, are credit-deficient, or who simply thrive better in a smaller, non-traditional classroom setting. The school focuses on helping students recover lost credits and complete the necessary requirements for a high school diploma while offering a curriculum that emphasizes core academics and college and career readiness.

The school prides itself on fostering a close-knit community where smaller class sizes allow teachers to provide individualized attention and mentorship. By utilizing a modular or alternative scheduling structure, El Camino helps students balance their academic goals with personal responsibilities. Their mission is centered on empowering students to overcome previous academic obstacles, restore their confidence, and prepare for life after high school, whether that involves pursuing higher education, vocational training, or immediate entry into the workforce.
