Life Learning Academy Charter District

Summary:

The Life Learning Academy Charter District consists of a single, very small charter high school, Life Learning Academy Charter, serving grades 9-12 with only 47 students in San Francisco.

This school provides an exceptionally personalized environment with a student-teacher ratio of just 7.9 to 1, but it serves a population with significant challenges, as evidenced by a chronic absenteeism rate of over 80% and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Academic proficiency rates are far below state averages, with 0% of students proficient in math and science, and the graduation rate of 70% is notably lower than the state average, while the dropout rate is considerably higher.

The school's performance has been declining in recent years, and it appears to serve a specialized, high-needs student population, suggesting its educational model and support systems are designed for students who may have struggled in traditional settings, with attendance being a critical area needing improvement for any academic progress.
