SUMMIT PREPARATORY CHARTER

Summit Preparatory Charter 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 177 students offering grade levels from 4th 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 11 teachers, Summit Preparatory Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

The school fosters a supportive environment where students are encouraged to pursue their passions through project-based learning and mentorship programs.
