COUNTRYSIDE COMMUNITY DAY

Countryside Community Day is a Title I public high school that is part of the Tulare Joint Union High school district, located in Tulare, CA with about 15 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 2 teachers, Countryside Community Day has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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.

Countryside Community Day School, located at 1084 S. Pratt St. in Tulare, California, serves as an alternative educational setting within the Tulare Joint Union High School District. As a "Community Day School," the institution is specifically designed to provide a structured and supportive environment for students who may have struggled in traditional high school settings due to behavioral challenges, attendance issues, or the need for a more personalized academic approach. The school aims to keep these students engaged in their education by offering a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and a curriculum tailored to individual progress.

Beyond academic instruction, the school places a strong emphasis on restorative practices and social-emotional development. The goal is to provide students with the necessary tools to improve their decision-making skills and prepare them for a successful transition—either back to a traditional comprehensive high school campus or toward graduation and post-secondary opportunities. By fostering a smaller, more focused campus culture, Countryside Community Day strives to offer a second chance for students to regain academic momentum in a safe and structured setting.
