LEAP HIGH SCHOOL

LEAP HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the Saint Paul Public Schools school district, located in SAINT PAUL, MN with about 211 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 18 teachers, LEAP HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

LEAP HIGH SCHOOL, located at 631 Albert St N in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is a specialized program operating under the St. Paul Public Schools (SPPS) district. It is designed as an alternative high school specifically focused on supporting English Language Learners (ELL) who are new to the United States. The school provides a unique educational environment that prioritizes accelerated language acquisition, academic credit recovery, and the development of essential life and career skills for older immigrant and refugee students.

The school is noted for its flexible, student-centered approach, which helps young people navigate the challenges of transitioning to a new culture and educational system. By offering a smaller, more personalized setting, LEAP HIGH SCHOOL allows students to work at their own pace to earn their high school diplomas. In addition to rigorous English language instruction, the school emphasizes a supportive community culture that prepares students for post-secondary success, whether that involves pursuing higher education or entering the workforce immediately after graduation.
