LORAIN K-12 DIGITAL ACADEMY

Lorain K-12 Digital Academy is a Title I public charter school with about 81 students offering grade levels from 2nd Grade 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 15 teachers, Lorain K-12 Digital Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.

The Lorain K-12 Digital Academy is a public, tuition-free online school serving students in grades K-12 within the Lorain City School District. Designed to provide a flexible alternative to the traditional classroom setting, the academy allows students to complete their coursework remotely while still benefiting from the support and resources of a local public school system. This model is particularly beneficial for students who require a non-traditional schedule, struggle in a large physical classroom, or are seeking a more personalized pace for their academic progress.

The academy emphasizes a personalized learning experience, utilizing a web-based curriculum that allows students to access their lessons at any time. While the instruction is delivered digitally, the school maintains a commitment to academic accountability and student success by providing access to state-certified teachers and dedicated staff who offer guidance and support. By combining the independence of virtual learning with the stability of the Lorain City Schools district, the academy aims to provide a path to graduation for students who need a more adaptable educational environment.
