West Campus Recognized for Sending Students to College
Graduates featured in Sacramento Bee video
West Campus has been recognized as one of the Sacramento area schools that send the most graduates to college.
“Not surprisingly, schools located in wealthier areas are much more likely to send a higher proportion of graduates to college… But some schools in economically disadvantaged areas punch above their weight, particularly Sacramento Charter High and West Campus, both located in South Sacramento.”

News
Hero Academy (Book Adventure Club)
According to a 2018 study by The Observer, male characters are twice as likely to take leading roles in children’s picture books and are given far more speaking parts than females. This creates serious problems for childhood development, according to John Marcotte, president of the Heroic Girls Foundation.
“Everyone deserves to see themselves as the hero of the story,” Marcotte said. “What message do children receive when over and over again women and girls are regulated to side characters and love interests — if they are present at all?”
