Middle Schools in Lift For Life Academy

Summary:

Lift For Life Academy is the sole middle school located in the Lift For Life Academy district, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 270 students in Saint Louis, Missouri. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Missouri middle schools and struggling with low academic proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school faces significant challenges, including a 100% free/reduced lunch rate indicating a high-poverty student population, and a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.5%. Despite higher-than-average spending per student ($16,265) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio (10.1 to 1), Lift For Life Academy is not achieving strong academic outcomes, with proficiency rates that are significantly below the state averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts across all grade levels.

Given the school's consistently low performance and the unique needs of its student population, targeted interventions and support are likely necessary to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes. This could include professional development for teachers, implementation of evidence-based instructional strategies, and comprehensive student support services to address non-academic barriers to learning.
