SIERRA HIGH SCHOOL

Sierra High is a Title I public high school that is part of the San Bernardino City Unified school district, located in San Bernardino, CA with about 434 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 24 teachers, Sierra High has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

Sierra High School, located on East Ninth Street in San Bernardino, is an alternative education site within the San Bernardino City Unified School District. The school is specifically designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, offering a personalized approach to help them recover credits, stay on track for graduation, and achieve their academic goals. By providing a smaller, more focused setting, Sierra High aims to re-engage students and provide the targeted support necessary to navigate the challenges of completing high school.

The campus culture at Sierra High emphasizes a supportive community that prioritizes credit acceleration and individualized instruction. Through its alternative education model, the school works closely with students to create flexible pathways toward a diploma, often incorporating mentorship and academic counseling to ensure students are prepared for life after graduation. Ultimately, Sierra High functions as a vital resource for the San Bernardino community, offering a second chance for academic success to students seeking a different route to their high school credentials.
