MONROE HIGH (CONTINUATION)

Monroe High (Continuation) is a Title I public high school that is part of the Tehachapi Unified school district, located in Tehachapi, CA with about 25 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 3 teachers, Monroe High (Continuation) has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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.

Monroe High School, located on S. Snyder St. in Tehachapi, California, functions as the district’s continuation high school. As a continuation program, it is specifically designed to provide an alternative educational environment for students who may struggle in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. The school focuses on credit recovery, flexible pacing, and individualized instruction to help students overcome academic hurdles and stay on track toward graduation.

By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering a more intimate campus culture, Monroe High aims to support students who may benefit from extra guidance or a non-traditional approach to learning. The program emphasizes social-emotional support and personalized pathways, ensuring that students who have fallen behind in credits or who require a different environment can successfully earn their high school diploma and prepare for post-secondary opportunities.
