E3 CIVIC HIGH SCHOOL

e3 Civic High is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the San Diego Unified school district, located in San Diego, CA with about 429 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 23 teachers, e3 Civic 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.

e3 Civic High is a unique, innovative public charter school located within the San Diego Central Library in downtown San Diego. Designed to break the traditional mold of education, the school utilizes its urban setting to provide students with a "real-world" learning environment. The name "e3" stands for "engage, educate, and empower," which serves as the core philosophy for their instructional model. By leveraging its partnership with the library and the surrounding community, the school offers students access to extensive resources, internships, and professional mentorships that are rarely available in a conventional high school setting.

The school is characterized by a personalized, project-based learning approach that emphasizes critical thinking, digital literacy, and civic engagement. Rather than traditional isolated classrooms, e3 Civic High features an open-concept architecture that encourages collaboration and mimics the modern, interconnected workforce. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for both college and career success, fostering a culture of high expectations and community responsibility.
