Summary:
Lift For Life Academy operates a single public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Missouri. With a total enrollment of 338 students, Lift For Life Academy High School stands out for its high proficiency rates in Algebra I, but struggles with low proficiency in Biology I. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate and a student population where 99.11% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Lift For Life Academy High School had an 80.4% proficiency rate in Algebra I in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average of 41.5%. However, the school's proficiency rate in Biology I was only 19%, well below the state average of 37.4%. The school's four-year graduation rate was 80.6% in 2023-2024, and it had a 1.6% dropout rate. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.1 in 2022-2023, the school spent $13,714 per student in 2021-2022.
While the school's high Algebra I proficiency is a strength, its low Biology I proficiency and high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.5% suggest areas for improvement. Additionally, the school's significant socioeconomic challenges, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may require additional resources and support to help students succeed. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, dropping from 184 out of 378 high schools in 2023-2024 to 355 out of 358 in 2020-2021, indicating the need for substantial improvements to reverse this trend.
