CROSSROADS HIGH (ALTERNATIVE)

Crossroads High (Alternative) is a Title I public school that is part of the Newark Unified school district, located in Newark, CA with about 55 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten 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 2 teachers, Crossroads High (Alternative) has a student/teacher ratio of about 27:1. 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.

Crossroads High, located at 35753 Cedar Blvd. in Newark, California, serves as the alternative education hub for the Newark Unified School District. The school is specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, offering a flexible, focused setting to help those who have fallen behind in credits or require a different approach to instruction to successfully earn their high school diplomas.

By providing a smaller, more personalized academic atmosphere, Crossroads High aims to foster student success through increased teacher-to-student interaction and targeted intervention programs. The school’s mission aligns with the district’s broader goal of ensuring that all students, regardless of their unique circumstances, remain on a viable path toward graduation, career readiness, and post-secondary opportunities.
