FULL CIRCLE HIGH SCHOOL

Full Circle High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Somerville school district, located in Somerville, MA with about 52 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 10 teachers, Full Circle High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.

Full Circle High School, located at 11 Otis Street in Somerville, Massachusetts, is an alternative educational program within the Somerville Public Schools district. It is specifically designed to provide a supportive, small-school environment for students who may struggle in a traditional high school setting.

The school’s philosophy centers on fostering strong relationships between students and staff, creating a community where learners feel valued and understood. In addition to a rigorous academic curriculum that meets district standards, Full Circle emphasizes social-emotional learning and provides targeted support services to address the diverse needs of its student body.
