Niles Preparatory Academy is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school. Many charters are built around a specific model or focus, so it's worth understanding this one's mission, how enrollment works, and how it differs from the district schools nearby.
48% of students at Niles Preparatory Academy were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
