UNITED STEP ACADEMY

UNITED STEP ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the UNITED ISD school district, located in LAREDO, TX with about 117 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 23 teachers, UNITED STEP ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.

UNITED STEP ACADEMY is an alternative education campus located in Laredo, Texas, operating under the jurisdiction of the United Independent School District (UISD). The academy is designed to serve students who may require a non-traditional educational environment, providing specialized academic and behavioral support to help them stay on track toward graduation. By offering a smaller, more focused setting, the school aims to address the unique needs of its student body and foster academic success outside of a conventional comprehensive high school structure.

The school is situated on Bob Bullock Loop, a prominent thoroughfare in Laredo, making it accessible to students across the district. As part of the UISD network, UNITED STEP ACADEMY adheres to the district's curriculum standards while utilizing tailored instructional strategies to promote student engagement and personal accountability. Families and interested parties can find more detailed information regarding the academy’s specific programs, administrative policies, and academic calendars on the official district website at [www.uisd.net](http://www.uisd.net).
