Executive Education Academy Charter School in Allentown serves all grades from kindergarten through grade twelve, operating as a charter school within Lehigh County. The school completed an expansion to full K-12 programming within the last several years and has grown to enroll a substantial student body that now spans the entire age range, making it a destination school for families seeking a charter alternative from kindergarten through high school graduation.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a significant African American population. All enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school draws from Allentown's neighborhoods, a city in active downtown revitalization driven by the Neighborhood Improvement Zone, which has fueled billions in private investment, new housing, and cultural amenities. Families choosing this school are selecting an option outside the traditional Allentown School District.
In state testing, the school's performance is lower than the midpoint among Lehigh County charter and public districts. In grades three through eight mathematics, proficiency sits below the county median. In English language arts across the same grades, proficiency is also below the county median. The state does not report a graduation rate for the most recent year, so a comparison for high school completion is not available. A parent may want to ask the school directly about graduation outcomes and about how the school supports students working below proficiency, particularly in mathematics.
The school is at the beginning stages of major capital infrastructure work. It broke ground in 2025 on a new multi-level athletic complex featuring a turf field, spectator seating, and a parking deck attached directly to the school building. The parking structure is scheduled to open in spring 2026, with the stadium itself finishing in time for the 2026 fall football season. This construction signals investment in the school's physical footprint and community gathering space as enrollment stabilizes at the full K-12 span.
Housing in Allentown's zip code is appreciating modestly. Home values have risen year-over-year and rent is climbing as well, though both remain below the state average. The cost of housing and the local unemployment rate sit near national norms, placing the area in a moderate economic position.
The school sits on Union Boulevard in central Allentown, within a city that is highly walkable downtown and has strengthened its transit system, cultural institutions, and park infrastructure in recent years. Major employers including Lehigh Valley Health Network, Air Products, and PPL Corporation are headquartered in or near the city, anchoring the regional economy. For families seeking a K-12 charter pathway with full grade continuity in an urban setting, Executive Education Academy offers that option, though the academic results so far indicate a school still building proficiency momentum that warrants direct conversation with the school about support strategies and outcomes.
