Personalized Pathways to College Success
LPS is committed to graduating students ready for success in college no matter the preparation with which they enter 9th grade. A key component of the support is personalized learning programs for both high achievers and students with gaps in their educational background.

Individualized Schedules
LPS leverages our small size and personalized learning environment to create individualized schedules for each student.  These schedules are designed to provide any needed catch-up courses in reading, numeracy and English Language Development as well as the ongoing support that might be needed for success in rigorous, college-prep, high school courses. Students entering well prepared have opportunities for Advanced Placement and Community College coursework, earning college credits while still in high school.  Student progress determines variations in the timing and support, but not the content, of core courses so that all students are successful

Early College Opportunities
LPS is one of a select group across the United States that is varying the length of high school by working closely with community colleges so students may begin college coursework before graduating and may extend high school coursework into a college bridge year in areas where more time is needed.

Ongoing Progress Monitoring and Intervention
LPS uses several assessment tools to monitor our students’ progress including:

  • Yearly diagnostic testing using the Northwest Evaluation Association’s Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) to target skill needs with spring re-testing to monitor growth.
  • Regular benchmark assessments backwards mapped from college entrance exams and co-designed with college professors
  • Placement in ongoing tutoring with regular monitoring using Intervention Data Rosters (attendance, grades, diagnostic tests, state STAR assessments, interim assessments, CAHSEE, and teacher recommendations).
  • Provision of individualized and small group socio-emotional supports with links to partner social service organizations.
  • Continued monitoring and support through a four-year advisory program that powerfully links teachers and a small cohort of students.
