STANTON ACADEMY

Stanton Academy is a Title I public high school that is part of the Yakima School District school district, located in Yakima, WA with about 241 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 18 teachers, Stanton Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

Stanton Academy, located at 802 River Rd in Yakima, Washington, serves as an alternative high school within the Yakima School District.

By providing smaller class sizes and a personalized approach, the academy aims to help students who have fallen behind in credits or those who require a different pace to successfully complete their high school graduation requirements.

The academy’s mission centers on fostering an inclusive and supportive culture that prioritizes student engagement and academic persistence. Beyond its core curriculum, Stanton Academy emphasizes the social and emotional well-being of its students, working to remove barriers to education and prepare them for post-secondary opportunities, whether in the workforce, trade schools, or higher education.
