Scholarship Prep Charter is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Orange County Department of Education school district, located in Santa Ana, CA with about 361 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 10 teachers, Scholarship Prep Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 36:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
