PLACER COUNTY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Placer County Community Schools is a Title I public school that is part of the Placer County Office of Education school district, located in Auburn, CA with about 36 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, Placer County Community Schools has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

Placer County Community Schools, located in Auburn, California, operates under the jurisdiction of the Placer County Office of Education. This school serves as an alternative educational setting designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional environment. The program is specifically structured to provide personalized academic pathways, credit recovery opportunities, and behavioral support for students who have faced challenges in conventional school settings.

By emphasizing a smaller, more focused classroom environment, the school aims to help students overcome barriers to graduation and prepare for life after high school. Through its partnership with the Placer County Office of Education, the school provides a combination of rigorous curriculum and intensive student support services, ensuring that even those in alternative placements have access to the resources necessary to achieve academic success and long-term vocational or educational goals.
