High Schools in Lift For Life Academy

Summary:

The Lift For Life Academy High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Lift For Life Academy district in Missouri. With a total enrollment of 345 students, the school faces some challenges but also demonstrates several positive indicators.

The school has a relatively low statewide ranking, placing between 184-264 out of 352-378 Missouri high schools in the past 3 school years and currently rated 1-3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. However, it boasts a high four-year graduation rate of 80.6% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%. Academically, the school performs above the state average in Algebra I proficiency but below the state average in Biology I proficiency. The school also has a very high percentage (100%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population, and spends a relatively high amount per student at $13,714 per year.

Despite these challenges, the school also has some favorable metrics, including a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.5% suggests the school may need to address factors impacting student engagement and attendance. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the Lift For Life Academy High School, with both positive and concerning indicators that the school will need to address to improve its academic outcomes and better serve its high-need student population.
