LAFAYETTE, La. ( KLFY )– The Lafayette Renaissance Charter Academy is expanding because of an increase in student enrollment.
At the high school location, both middle school and high school students are being housed in the same building at Lafayette Renaissance High School. Because of this, a middle school location is being built next to the high school.
Dr. Ronnie Harrison, the head of schools for Lafayette Renaissance Charter Academy, said the high school location is reaching its capacity because of student enrollment.
“The great thing about our schools is that we have pre-K through 12th grade,” Harrison said.
Although the students are in different sites, the staff is still able to help kids grow. Designed to hold 900 students, the current student count is nearly 800 middle and high school students, with more on the waiting list.
“It’s a great thing that we have a lot of interested people and families that want to come to our school. That’s why we are continuing to expand,” Harrison said.
