ACADEMIA AVANCE CHARTER

Academia Avance Charter is a Title I public charter high school with about 389 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th 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 19 teachers, Academia Avance Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

Academia Avance Charter, located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, is a public charter school serving students in grades 6 through 12. Founded with the goal of providing a rigorous, college-preparatory education to an underserved community, the school emphasizes a culture of high academic expectations and strong personal accountability. Its curriculum is designed to prepare students for success in four-year universities, with a particular focus on developing critical thinking skills and fostering a lifelong passion for learning.

Beyond academics, Academia Avance is known for its tight-knit, mission-driven school culture. The school prioritizes a supportive environment where students are encouraged to advocate for themselves and engage deeply with their community. By integrating small class sizes with a focus on leadership and civic responsibility, the school aims to bridge the achievement gap and equip its graduates—many of whom are first-generation college students—with the tools necessary to succeed in higher education and beyond.
