About Ravenswood
The Ravenswood City School District (RCSD) in San Mateo County is a unique academic environment that draws from the culturally rich communities of East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park. The ethnic make-up of the population is dominantly Hispanic (70%), African American (20%), Pacific Islander (9%) and other 1%. RCSD serves some 4,500 students in kindergarten through eighth grades in seven elementary schools, and a child development center. It is also home to one of the few single gender public schools in the country. In addition, RCSD holds charters for five charter schools, including one high school.
The district has embarked upon an aggressive and impressive initiative to improve the educational opportunities provided for students and their families. This Journey to Excellence strives to improve the academic, social, and overall health and economic conditions for the entire Ravenswood community.
