HIGHER LEARNING ACADEMY

Higher Learning Academy is a Title I public charter school that is part of the Twin Rivers Unified school district, located in Sacramento, CA with about 220 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th 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 6 teachers, Higher Learning Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 36:1. 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.

Higher Learning Academy (HLA), located on Plover Street in Sacramento, is a public charter school that operates under the Gateway Community Charters (GCC) network. The school focuses on providing a structured, supportive academic environment tailored to the diverse needs of the Sacramento community.
