INDEPENDENCE HIGH (ALTERNATIVE)

Independence High (Alternative) is a Title I public high school that is part of the Roseville Joint Union High school district, located in Roseville, CA with about 177 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, Independence High (Alternative) has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Independence High School, located on Berry Street in Roseville, California, serves as the district’s primary alternative education campus. Unlike traditional comprehensive high schools, Independence is designed to provide a more flexible, personalized learning environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional academic setting. The school focuses on credit recovery, accelerated learning paths, and individualized instruction to ensure that students stay on track toward graduation and are prepared for life after high school.

The program at Independence High is typically characterized by smaller class sizes and a supportive atmosphere that emphasizes student-teacher mentorship.
