SANTA CLARA COMMUNITY DAY

Santa Clara Community Day is a Title I public high school that is part of the Santa Clara Unified school district, located in Santa Clara, CA with about 9 students offering grade levels from 6th 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 2 teachers, Santa Clara Community Day has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. 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.

**Santa Clara Community Day School** is a specialized alternative education program within the Santa Clara Unified School District. Located on Brookdale Drive, the school is designed to serve students in grades 7 through 12 who require a more structured, supportive, and individualized learning environment than what is typically provided in a traditional comprehensive high school. The program focuses on helping students overcome behavioral or academic challenges by offering a smaller classroom setting, consistent supervision, and a curriculum tailored to get students back on track for graduation.

The primary mission of the school is to provide a safe and focused setting where students can earn credits while developing the personal and academic skills necessary for long-term success. By maintaining close communication with families and district partners, Santa Clara Community Day emphasizes behavioral modification, academic remediation, and social-emotional growth. The goal is to prepare students for a successful transition back to their home campus or to assist them in meeting the requirements for a high school diploma in a supportive, closely-monitored atmosphere.
