LAKES ACADEMY

LAKES ACADEMY is a Title I public charter school that is part of the MEADOWLAND CHARTER DISTRICT school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 54 students offering grade levels from 2nd Grade to 11th 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 3 teachers, LAKES ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

LAKES ACADEMY, located on the South Loop 1604 East in San Antonio, is an alternative education campus within the **East Central Independent School District (ECISD)**. The school is designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, offering a structured setting that focuses on credit recovery, academic acceleration, and personalized instruction. By utilizing smaller class sizes and targeted support, the academy aims to help students who have fallen behind or who struggle in a conventional comprehensive high school setting get back on track toward graduation.

Beyond its academic focus, LAKES ACADEMY emphasizes social-emotional growth and behavioral development to prepare students for life after high school. The program provides a flexible curriculum that allows students to work at their own pace, ensuring they can meet state requirements while managing personal or academic challenges. By fostering a supportive and focused atmosphere, the school acts as a critical resource for the district, ensuring that all students—regardless of their academic history—have a viable pathway to earning their diploma and pursuing post-secondary goals.
