DESERT OASIS HIGH SCHOOL
Desert Oasis High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Othello School District school district, located in Othello, WA with about 77 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 3 teachers, Desert Oasis High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.
Desert Oasis High School is an alternative educational institution located in Othello, Washington, serving students within the Othello School District. Unlike a traditional comprehensive high school, Desert Oasis is designed to provide a more flexible, personalized learning environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional setting. The school focuses on credit recovery, academic support, and fostering a smaller, more focused community that helps students meet graduation requirements at their own pace.
The school emphasizes a supportive atmosphere where educators work closely with students to overcome obstacles and prepare for life after graduation. By offering a different approach to instruction and scheduling, Desert Oasis aims to keep students engaged, ensuring they remain on the path toward earning their high school diploma and developing the skills necessary for post-secondary success, whether in the workforce or further education.
