Valley Atwater Community

The Merced County Office of Education calls Valley Atwater Community a vital public high school for students in grades 9 through 12. The school has a good student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, with about 50 to 70 students enrolled. Because of its small size, it is one of the best schools for giving each student the help they need and for providing specialized academic support. The school has a lot of different kinds of students. 90% of them are minorities, and 94% are considered to be low-income. Valley Atwater Community says that 15% of its students are good at math and 10% are good at reading. The school environment focuses on core skills, but it also encourages personal growth and credit recovery. One of the most well-known schools for community-based education, it is known for being flexible and helpful in helping students get their high school diplomas, and it is one of the best high school in California.

Valley Atwater Community School is still working hard to help its students succeed. This school year, it has put in place a full Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) that gives each student personalized help with both their academics and their social and emotional needs. The campus is an important center for "at-promise" youth because it has a trauma-informed learning environment with wellness resources and small-group instruction that is tailored to each student's needs. Recent partnerships in the region have also helped students by giving them more access to Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways and local community service projects.
