PARA LOS NI?OS MIDDLE SCHOOL

Para Los Ni?os Middle is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 348 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 15 teachers, Para Los Ni?os Middle has a student/teacher ratio of about 23:1. 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.

**Para Los Niños Middle School**, located at 835 Stanford Ave. in Los Angeles, is a charter school dedicated to serving students in the Downtown Los Angeles area, specifically within the Skid Row and surrounding urban communities.
