Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 38 teachers, Sacramento Charter High has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

Sacramento Charter High School, commonly known as "Sac High," is a historic institution located in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento. Originally founded in 1856, it holds the distinction of being the oldest high school in the city. After transitioning into a public charter school under the St. HOPE Public Schools network in 2003, the campus underwent significant revitalization efforts aimed at improving academic outcomes and fostering community engagement in an historically underserved area.

The school operates with a mission to prepare students for college and career success through a rigorous academic curriculum and a supportive school culture. Sac High emphasizes a "college-going" mindset, focusing on character development, leadership, and high expectations for all scholars. In addition to its core academic programs, the school is well-known for its vibrant athletics department and extracurricular activities, which serve as central hubs for school spirit and community identity within the greater Sacramento region.
