SHASTA COUNTY INDEPENDENT STUDY CHARTER

Shasta County Independent Study Charter is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Shasta County Office of Education school district, located in Redding, CA with about 102 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 2 teachers, Shasta County Independent Study Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 51:1. 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.
