Welcome to our school! At Sixth Street Prep School, we incorporate many strategies to encourage and challenge students to develop their full potential. Without a doubt, the success of SSPS is due to the dedication and devotion of our staff, students and families. The saying, “it takes a village” embodies our belief system at Sixth Street Prep School (SSPS).
All of our teachers collaborate with each other to determine and create programs, initiatives and curriculum to best meet the needs of our students. Our routinely monitored data and annual test scores drive our planning and instruction as we continue to see high levels of student success. Results on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) demonstrates that SSPS students are meeting or exceeding standards at a high rate. SSPS staff recognizes that students are more likely to be engaged and on-task when lessons offer real-life application for the learner. As a result, lessons are designed to create powerful learning experiences that will motivate students towards high standards of achievement. Such learning experiences engage student curiosity, originality, and interpersonal relationships. As a staff, we have unanimously agreed to extend the school day by 45 minutes, Mondays-Thursdays. This provides all students with an extra 180 educational minutes each week.
Through all of these means, SSPS creates a learning community that encourages students to realize they are capable of high levels of competence, performance and knowledge. The learning community is designed to foster positive changes in the lives of students, parents/guardians, teachers, staff and community. Our goal is to create an environment inside of our learning community in which students take responsibility for their own learning and maximize personal strengths which will enable them to select from a variety of career opportunities and to be successful in the workforce.


     Our students and families know the importance of a solid educational foundation. Students at SSPS set both long and short-term goals for themselves and work to achieve them. They have learned the significance of respect, hard-work and community. Our parents and families support their education, and work with their students teaching them the importance of hard work and responsibility. Sixth Street Prep School is truly  a family for our students.
Thank you for the opportunity to let us share with you the story of our school and community.
