School Overview

The facility located at 1715 E. Wilshire Ave. in Santa Ana is part of the **Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) ACCESS program**. ACCESS (Alternative, Community, and Correctional Education Schools and Services) provides educational opportunities for students who are experiencing circumstances that make traditional school settings unsuitable or inaccessible. In this specific location, the program serves youth who are currently detained within the juvenile justice system.

The primary mission of this program is to ensure that incarcerated youth have continued access to a high-quality education. The curriculum is designed to be flexible and supportive, focusing on core academic standards, credit recovery, and vocational skill-building to help students stay on track for graduation or transition successfully back into traditional schools or the workforce upon their release. By providing structured, individualized instruction in a custodial environment, the school aims to mitigate the disruption of schooling and promote long-term academic and personal rehabilitation.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
