PUC LAKEVIEW CHARTER ACADEMY

PUC Lakeview Charter Academy is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Lake View Terrace, CA with about 350 students offering grade levels from 6th 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 13 teachers, PUC Lakeview Charter Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 26:1. 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.

PUC Lakeview Charter Academy (LCA) is a public charter middle school located in the Lake View Terrace neighborhood of Los Angeles. As part of the Partnership to Uplift Communities (PUC) network, the school is founded on the core mission of increasing the high school graduation and college enrollment rates of students in historically underserved communities. The academy emphasizes a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum designed to challenge students academically while fostering a supportive environment that encourages personal growth and community involvement.

The school operates with a focus on its "three commitments": students graduating from high school, students being proficient in core subjects, and students being committed to uplifting their communities. To achieve these goals, PUC Lakeview Charter Academy integrates a holistic educational approach that combines strong academic instruction with character development and social-emotional learning. By maintaining a smaller school culture, the academy aims to build strong relationships between staff, students, and families, ensuring that every student receives the individualized attention necessary to succeed in their transition to high school and beyond.
