Community Schools

Many youth in Redwood City come from impoverished and under-resourced neighborhoods where poverty, violence, and a lack of social services often interfere with students’ academic achievement. There are over 4,000 students who attend one of the three Sequoia Union High School District schools in Redwood City. At all three schools, the percentage of students from the class of 2012 who met all the University of California or California State University course requirements was below the county and state average.
