Libertas College 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 220 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 10 teachers, Libertas College Preparatory Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
