Our school is located in southeast Fresno, and is comprised mainly of second language learners and students with low socioeconomic backgrounds. Our students come from various backgrounds including Hispanic, Hmong, African-American and Caucasian. A large number of our students are exposed to violence, gangs, physical and emotional abuse, drugs and poverty.
Students often struggle to achieve grade level academics because they come ill-prepared for the rigorous demands, and often the struggles they are facing at home interfere with academic progress. Most families do not have technology available to them in the home because they struggle to provide the basic necessities for their families. Although these students face many struggles in their community, they still come to school with a passion for learning and a desire to better themselves. For some the school is the only place that they can see a glimpse of a different future for themselves.
