WESTSIDE PREPARATORY CHARTER

Westside Preparatory Charter is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the Twin Rivers Unified school district, located in Rio Linda, CA with about 385 students offering grade levels from 7th 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, Westside Preparatory Charter 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.

Westside Preparatory Charter, located in Rio Linda, California, serves as an independent study-based educational option within the Twin Rivers Unified School District. Designed for students seeking a flexible, non-traditional approach to learning, the school offers a personalized academic experience that allows students to progress at their own pace outside of the conventional classroom setting. By balancing home-based study with scheduled meetings, the program aims to cater to students who may require more autonomy, need to accommodate unique schedules, or thrive in an individualized instructional environment.

The school emphasizes a collaborative relationship between teachers, students, and parents to ensure academic success and accountability. Through its independent study model, Westside Preparatory provides the necessary curriculum and instructional support to meet state standards while fostering self-discipline and independence. As part of the broader district infrastructure, it offers a pathway for students to complete their requirements for graduation or transition back to a comprehensive school setting, focusing on developing the study habits and organizational skills essential for future academic and professional success.
