PARAMOUNT UNIFIED COMMUNITY DAY

Paramount Unified Community Day is a Title I public high school that is part of the Paramount Unified school district, located in Paramount, CA with about 18 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 3 teachers, Paramount Unified Community Day has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. 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.

Paramount Unified Community Day School, located at 14507 Paramount Blvd. in Paramount, California, serves as an alternative educational setting within the Paramount Unified School District. Unlike traditional comprehensive high schools, Community Day Schools are designed to provide a highly structured, supportive, and individualized learning environment for students who may have struggled in conventional school settings. The program focuses on academic recovery, behavioral intervention, and social-emotional development, offering smaller class sizes and personalized attention to help students stay on track toward graduation or transition back to their home schools.

The school is specifically tasked with serving students who require a more focused and intentional academic approach, including those who may be credit-deficient or in need of an alternative placement due to disciplinary or attendance challenges. By maintaining a smaller campus atmosphere, Paramount Unified Community Day creates a tightly knit community where staff can work closely with students and their families to address barriers to success. Ultimately, the school acts as a vital bridge, providing the resources and stability necessary for students to develop the discipline, academic skills, and personal growth required to achieve their future educational and career goals.
