In my school, I would like to see more extra curricular classes. I feel as if it doesn't prepare us for our future career options.

Lavelle Prep Charter High School is a really great school, I've been here since the 4th grade and it was scared at first but it's hard to find good programs but staff it excellent.

The teachers , administrators, and staff are absolutely amazing and dedicated to every student attending Lavelle . The school is beautiful and very clean . It is very family oriented. Staff and parents are constantly engaged in every aspect. Communication is phenomenal. Resources , academics , after school are just hands down amazing . No child is left out . Everyone is included regardless of disabilities/non disabilities. I truly recommend this school for any child that's looking for a 2nd home.
