For Lorain families who need a school that pays attention to their child's progress, not just their child's attendance. If your child is falling behind, the question isn't whether the school noticed. The question is whether the school did anything about it. Lorain Preparatory Academy is a tuition-free public charter school in South Lorain, Ohio, serving Kindergarten through 8th grade. The school runs a Multi-Tiered System of Supports, which is an academic intervention framework that identifies where a student is struggling and provides targeted help before a small gap becomes a large one. Principal Marisol Burgos leads a school that doesn't wait for report card season to notice your child needs more.- MTSS framework: targeted intervention before gaps compound.
- Camp Invention STEM summer program (National Inventors Hall of Fame).
- National Junior Honor Society.
- Developmental basketball.
- Free breakfast and lunch.

It takes about 60 seconds. You've seen it happen. Your child comes home with a C- on a test. Then another one. Then a progress report that says "needs improvement" without explaining what the school plans to do about it. By the time the conversation happens, your child is a full quarter behind and embarrassed about it. Lorain Preparatory Academy doesn't run that way. The MTSS framework means the school identifies where a student is slipping and steps in with targeted support before the slip becomes a slide.What the school day looks like
Your child starts with a free breakfast. The academic program is standards-based and layered with intervention support at every level. Students who are on track receive grade-level instruction. Students who need more receive additional targeted time with the specific skills they're missing. Students who are ahead receive enrichment. The framework works because it doesn't treat every student the same. It treats every student like an individual with specific academic needs.Camp Invention and STEM
