LIFT FOR LIFE ACADEMY

LIFT FOR LIFE ACADEMY is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the LIFT FOR LIFE ACADEMY school district, located in ST LOUIS, MO with about 258 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 21 teachers, LIFT FOR LIFE ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.
