High Desert is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Acton-Agua Dulce Unified school district, located in Acton, CA with about 278 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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 15 teachers, High Desert has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1.
