LA SALLE CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter middle school with about 117 students offering grade levels from 5th 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 7 teachers, LA SALLE CHARTER SCHOOL 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.
La Salle Middle School, located in the historic Jefferson Avenue corridor of St. Louis, is a private, independent, faith-based middle school that serves students in grades 6 through 8. Founded on the traditions of the De La Salle Christian Brothers, the school is specifically designed to serve children from low-income families in the city of St. Louis. It operates with a mission to provide a high-quality, values-centered education that prepares students for success in competitive private and college-preparatory high schools, emphasizing academic rigor, personal responsibility, and spiritual growth.
The school is noted for its extended school day and year-round academic calendar, which are designed to provide a supportive, structured environment for students during their critical middle school years. Beyond the classroom, La Salle focuses heavily on character development, mentorship, and community engagement. By maintaining small class sizes and a dedicated faculty, the institution seeks to bridge the achievement gap and provide its students with the resources, discipline, and opportunities necessary to pursue higher education and become productive, contributing members of their communities.
