The core curriculum correlates to the state standards, and teachers use the same curriculum that is used at the comprehensive high school. The majority of our students are full-day students, while others have a modified schedule based on student needs. The teacher-to-student ratio is purposefully lower at the alternative site. The smaller number of students per class provides the opportunity for teachers to get to know the students, which in turn builds a strong working relationship in the classroom. The small student-to-staff ratio provides the opportunity for students to receive the necessary attention for success.

LHS curriculum is designed around the California standards. Teachers post and share the Lesson Target and Success Criteria daily. The staff ensures that all students will be able to meet school-wide expectations by adapting lessons that embrace the varying learning modalities of our students. Such variety in lessons allows auditory learners, visual learners, and kinesthetic learners to experience a rigorous standards-based curriculum while not feeling overwhelmed by the academic process. The district's technology department provides administration and staff with access to concise student achievement data reports, such as results from the CAASPP, CAST, local benchmarks, ELPAC, and other assessments. LHS uses this student achievement data to initiate and revise lesson plans, their pacing guides, and the master schedule all of which focus on all students achieving the expected school-wide learning results, academic standards, and college-to-career goals.

LHS students are offered the same adopted curriculum as the comprehensive high school. In addition, LHS provides Cyber High and Acellus to provide a variety of electives. To graduate, students must complete 220 credits in the required and elective courses.

LHS appreciates the technological demands that will be placed upon students during as well as after exiting high school. To prepare students for such demands, each student has access to their own Chromebook to use in class and at home. Classrooms are also equipped with backup Chromebooks.

The school year is divided into four quarters or two semesters. The school day consists of seven 45-minute periods. The twelve-week trimester system works well for the students because they can see their educational goals being met at a faster rate.
