GOLDEN RIDGE

Golden Ridge is a Title I public school that is part of the El Dorado County Office of Education school district, located in Placerville, CA with about 10 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, Golden Ridge has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.

Golden Ridge, located at 299 Fair Lane in Placerville, CA, is a specialized educational facility operated under the jurisdiction of the El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE). As part of the county’s broader educational framework, the school is designed to provide targeted support and alternative learning environments for students who may require specialized instruction, behavioral intervention, or unique academic pathways that are not typically available in standard comprehensive school settings.

Because it operates under the umbrella of the EDCOE, Golden Ridge focuses on fostering a structured and inclusive atmosphere tailored to the individual needs of its student population. The school emphasizes collaboration between educators, families, and community resources to ensure students receive the necessary guidance to achieve academic and personal growth. For specific information regarding its current programs, grade levels served, or enrollment procedures, interested parties are encouraged to visit the official [EDCOE website](http://www.edcoe.org).
