A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

South Valley High School, located in Ukiah, California, serves as the district’s primary continuation high school. Unlike a traditional comprehensive high school, South Valley is specifically designed to provide an alternative educational path for students who may be credit-deficient, struggling in a conventional classroom setting, or in need of a more flexible schedule to balance personal responsibilities. The school focuses on credit recovery and individualized instruction, allowing students to work at their own pace to meet graduation requirements and earn their high school diplomas.

The environment at South Valley is characterized by smaller class sizes and a more personalized approach, which fosters stronger relationships between students and faculty. By offering a supportive and focused academic atmosphere, the school aims to re-engage students who have become disengaged from the traditional system, helping them overcome barriers to success.
