YOLO HIGH SCHOOL

Yolo High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Washington Unified school district, located in West Sacramento, CA with about 116 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 9 teachers, Yolo High has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Yolo High School, located at 919 W.acre Rd. in West Sacramento, serves as the district’s primary continuation high school. It is designed to provide a flexible and supportive educational environment for students who may benefit from an alternative setting to the traditional comprehensive high school experience. The school focuses on credit recovery and individualized instruction, aiming to help students overcome academic challenges and stay on track toward earning their high school diplomas.

The campus culture at Yolo High is characterized by smaller class sizes and a personalized approach, allowing teachers to build stronger mentorship connections with their students. By offering a specialized curriculum and a more focused pace, the school assists students in developing the academic and social-emotional skills necessary for graduation and post-secondary success, whether that leads to further education, vocational training, or direct entry into the workforce.
