Small High Schools

With rising college costs and an uncertain job market, interest is growing in non-traditional, smaller high schools that put teens on a proven pathway to post-high school success. SCUSD offers five small high schools geared to preparing students for such growing employment fields as health care, engineering, sustainability and design.

Small high schools offer students expanded opportunities to take community college classes and high school classes concurrently. As a result, students can spend less time in college after high school graduation, saving thousands in tuition. Some students graduate from high school having already earned AA degrees.
