COMMUNITY PREPARATORY ACADEMY

Community Preparatory Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 262 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th 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 17 teachers, Community Preparatory Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

Community Preparatory Academy (CPA), located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, is a public charter school committed to providing a rigorous academic environment for students in grades K-8.

By fostering a culture of accountability and support, CPA aims to prepare its diverse student body for long-term success in high school, college, and beyond.

The school’s philosophy centers on the belief that all students can achieve academic excellence regardless of their background, provided they are given the right tools and a structured, safe learning environment. In addition to a core curriculum that prioritizes literacy and mathematics, Community Preparatory Academy places a strong emphasis on character development and community engagement.
