Redondo Beach Unified School District
The staff of the Redondo Beach Unified School District (RBUSD) is understandably proud of the success of its students. The community of Redondo Beach is supportive of the district and school programs, and is active at all levels. The district skillfully serves a culturally diverse population of approximately 8,500 children. In addition, close to ten-thousand adults attend the South Bay Adult School to continue life-long learning in a unique program offering everything from English as a Second Language, Citizenship courses and GED preparation, to vocational/career training, Parent Education, and classes providing enjoyment and pleasure for leisure time activities.
Redondo Beach schools are California Distinguished Schools and Redondo Shores Continuation High School serves as a California Model School. Each school in the district offers a strong instructional program that includes Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Science, Science, Physical Education, and Visual/Performing Arts. All schools perform well above the state’s performance goal of 800 on the state-wide Academic Performance Index, with the majority scoring well above the 900 mark. Approximately 97% of Redondo Beach graduates continue their education in a two or four-year college.
In the recent years, despite diminishing resources, the RBUSD has continued its long-standing commitment to support quality vocational educational opportunities, alongside a strong academic core. In addition, the district provides Title I services to students in need of additional instruction in Mathematics and Reading/Language Arts; the English Language Development program assists limited English-speaking students acquire English proficiency; the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program provides academically gifted students additional opportunities to be challenged and a rich K-12 music and arts program. The District also operates ten Child Development Centers which provide before and after school care for pre-school and kindergarten through eighth grade students. Additionally, Special Education services are provided to eligible students from 3 years to 22 years of age. These special needs students range from having learning disabilities and mild speech and language delays to more severe disabilities. The Independent Study Program allows high school students an alternative method of earning their diploma.

HIGH SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES
Redondo Union High School has been successfully educating students for over a century. Founded in 1905, RUHS is the only comprehensive high school in the Redondo Beach Unified School District. Located across from city hall, the scenic 56-acre campus is the “Home of Scholars and Athletes”. The entire school community is proud of the Sea Hawk traditions and is dedicated to achieving academic excellence for all students.
RUHS Mission Statement:
The students, parents, staff and community of Redondo Union High School will share the educational process, so that all students have the opportunity to reach their potential.
All students at RUHS participate in a rigorous standards-based curriculum and course of study. Students are encouraged to complete a college preparatory program, and 97% of the graduates attend a two-year or four year college. The Advanced Placement Program continues to grow each year as more students enroll in challenging college level courses on campus. Eighteen (18) AP classes are offered in the following departments: English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language, and Visual Arts. The College Board selected RUHS for the AP Achievement List in 2010 to recognize the AP program not only for increased enrollment, but for increasing the pass rate on the AP exams to 83%.
There are numerous school clubs and extracurricular activities to engage students in extracurricular participation. The highly competitive athletic program enjoys continued success in both boys' and girls' sports as 26 varsity teams compete in the Bay League. RUHS hosts a MCJROTC Program, Beach Cities Robotics, a nationally recognized journalism program for the school newspaper and the yearbook, a very successful Academic Decathlon team, and a four year AVID program.
The high school campus is being transformed thanks to the passage of Measure C by the community of Redondo Beach. The beautiful new facilities include: student services building, renovated auditorium and music building, football and athletic fields with field turf, all weather track, field house, aquatics center, gymnasium and fitness center, and softball fields.
