LITTLE ROCK PREP ACADEMY is a Title I public charter middle school with about 213 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th 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 12 teachers, LITTLE ROCK PREP ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
