About The Education Corps

The Education Corps is a public alternative high school in Long Beach, California. It serves students in grades 9–12 who live in the Long Beach Unified School District. With a student-to-teacher ratio of about 10:1, the school offers a small, supportive learning environment where teachers can give each student more individualized attention and meet their needs more closely. The school helps students who are behind or need extra help to graduate by focusing on credit recovery, academic intervention, and personalized learning. English, math, science, and social studies are the main academic subjects. Career exploration and life skills programs are also important. The student body is very diverse, and most of the students are minorities. Academic performance is poor, with 0% proficiency in math and 18% proficiency in reading (ELA). This shows that the students need extra help with their studies. The district also offers college-readiness tests like the SAT that students can take. The Education Corps is based in a city and focuses on personalized learning, getting students back on track academically, and getting them ready for graduation.
