PUENTE HILLS HIGH SCHOOL

Puente Hills High is a Title I public school that is part of the Hacienda la Puente Unified school district, located in Hacienda Heights, CA with about 123 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to Adult Education. 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 12 teachers, Puente Hills High has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

It appears there may be a slight misunderstanding regarding the name of the school at that location. Based on the address provided (**15430 Shadybend Dr., Hacienda Heights, CA 91746**), the institution is **Los Altos High School**, which is part of the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District. "Puente Hills" is the name of the geographic area and a nearby regional shopping center, but it is not the name of a high school at that address.
