Village Preparatory School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Village Preparatory School Cliffs school district, located in Cleveland, OH with about 414 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 4th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
