WILDER'S PREPARATORY ACADEMY CHARTER

Wilder's Preparatory Academy Charter is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Inglewood Unified school district, located in Inglewood, CA with about 399 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, Wilder's Preparatory Academy Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Wilder’s Preparatory Academy Charter School (WPACS) is an independent K-8 charter school located in Inglewood, California, founded in 2003 with a focus on providing a rigorous, college-preparatory education. The school is known for its high academic standards and structured environment, often prioritizing a core curriculum that emphasizes core subjects such as mathematics, science, and language arts. By maintaining a charter status, the school operates with a degree of autonomy that allows it to implement specialized instructional strategies and enrichment programs aimed at preparing students for competitive high school environments.

The school’s culture is notably centered on discipline, personal accountability, and community involvement, often requiring strong family partnership to support student success. Beyond academics, WPACS integrates character development into its daily operations, encouraging students to embody values such as integrity and leadership. Located in the heart of Inglewood, the academy serves a diverse student body and has consistently aimed to close the achievement gap by fostering a rigorous, high-expectation atmosphere that encourages students to excel both inside and outside the classroom.
