HEARTLAND HIGH (CONTINUATION)

Heartland High (Continuation) is a Title I public high school that is part of the Selma Unified school district, located in Selma, CA with about 71 students offering grade levels from 7th 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 5 teachers, Heartland High (Continuation) has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

Heartland High School, located in Selma, California, functions as the continuation high school within the Selma Unified School District. Designed as an alternative educational setting, the school provides a personalized and flexible learning environment for students who may require a different pace or structure than that offered by the traditional comprehensive high school experience. Its primary mission is to support students in credit recovery, academic acceleration, and personal growth, ensuring that all pupils have the necessary resources to meet graduation requirements and prepare for life after high school.

The school is characterized by a smaller campus environment, which allows for closer relationships between students and faculty. By fostering a supportive and focused atmosphere, Heartland High aims to re-engage students who may have faced obstacles in their educational journey, helping them to overcome those challenges through targeted academic support and vocational or life-skills guidance. As part of the broader Selma Unified school system, Heartland High is committed to the district’s goal of empowering every student to achieve their full potential and successfully transition into college or career pathways.
