OWENS VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

Owens Valley High is a public high school that is part of the Owens Valley Unified school district, located in Independence, CA with about 30 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 3 teachers, Owens Valley High has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

The school operates under the mission of the Owens Valley Unified School District, which strives to provide a rigorous and supportive academic foundation that prepares students for post-secondary success.
