LOS ANGELES ACADEMY OF ARTS & ENTERPRISE CHARTER

Los Angeles Academy of Arts & Enterprise Charter is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 348 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 17 teachers, Los Angeles Academy of Arts & Enterprise 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.
