UPROAR LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

UpROAR Leadership Academy is a Title I public charter middle school with about 181 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, UpROAR Leadership Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.

UpROAR Leadership Academy, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, is an innovative educational institution dedicated to empowering middle and high school students through a rigorous, character-driven academic environment. The academy distinguishes itself by integrating traditional academics with a strong focus on leadership development, civic engagement, and social-emotional growth. By fostering a culture of accountability and high expectations, the school aims to prepare its students—many of whom may be underserved or seeking a non-traditional path—to become confident, responsible, and effective leaders in their local communities and beyond.

The school’s curriculum is designed to move beyond basic proficiency, emphasizing critical thinking, problem-solving, and personal empowerment. Through its holistic approach, UpROAR seeks to bridge the achievement gap by providing a supportive community where students are mentored to overcome obstacles and realize their full potential. With a mission centered on "roaring" for excellence, the academy serves as a transformative space that equips young people with the tools, discipline, and vision necessary to navigate the challenges of the modern world and emerge as active, contributing members of society.
