VOA HIGH SCHOOL

VOA HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the Minneapolis Public School District school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN with about 99 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 7 teachers, VOA HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

VOA HIGH SCHOOL, located in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, is a specialized charter school operated by Volunteers of America Minnesota. It is designed specifically to serve students who have struggled in traditional academic settings, often providing a second chance for youth who have dropped out, are credit-deficient, or require a more supportive, flexible learning environment to earn their high school diploma.

The school is characterized by its small class sizes and a personalized approach to education, which allows staff to focus on the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of each student. By integrating intensive student support services with a standard academic curriculum, VOA HIGH SCHOOL aims to remove the barriers that prevent students from succeeding, ultimately preparing them for post-secondary education, vocational training, or direct entry into the workforce.
