GUADALUPE CENTERS HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the GUADALUPE CENTERS SCHOOLS school district, located in KANSAS CITY, MO with about 395 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 30 teachers, GUADALUPE CENTERS HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
