KEARNY COLLEGE CONNECTIONS

Kearny College Connections is a Title I public high school that is part of the San Diego Unified school district, located in San Diego, CA with about 397 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 13 teachers, Kearny College Connections has a student/teacher ratio of about 30:1. 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.
