RENAISSANCE HIGH CONTINUATION

Renaissance High Continuation is a Title I public high school that is part of the Pajaro Valley Unified school district, located in La Selva Beach, CA with about 145 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 11 teachers, Renaissance High Continuation has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

Renaissance High School, located in La Selva Beach, serves as the primary continuation high school for the Pajaro Valley Unified School District. It is designed to provide an alternative educational setting for students who require a more flexible or supportive environment than a traditional comprehensive high school. By offering smaller class sizes and personalized instruction, the school aims to help students who may have fallen behind in credits or who thrive in a more intimate academic setting to get back on track toward graduation.

The school emphasizes a "student-first" approach, focusing on credit recovery and individual goal setting to ensure students meet state requirements. Beyond academics, Renaissance High often focuses on social-emotional support and vocational guidance, helping students navigate personal challenges while preparing for life after high school. By fostering a close-knit community, the staff works to re-engage students in their education, providing a clear pathway for them to earn their diplomas and successfully transition into higher education or the workforce.
