Why PRJUSD Developed This Goal
PRJUSD has a district goal that every student will be college and career ready to ensure students have the opportunity to pursue the path that best meets their interests upon graduation from high school. We believe this is achieved through a combination of a broad and rigorous course of study, interventions and supports, as well as access to career technical education programs. Graduation rates are one metric which measures the % of students who successfully complete high school requirements and, with graduation and post-secondary options in mind, we have designed targeted actions to ensure all students have opportunities for success in whatever path they choose.

7.33 High School Counselors, 2 Middle School Counselors, 1.0 Alternative Education Counselor, Counseling Secretary at PRHS College and Career Assessment Program, Data Analysis Ed Tech TOSA (50%)/LCAP specialist (75%) FASFA Support - College Coaches
