E. Phillips Laboratory School. Interestingly, Choudrant achieves this with a higher student-teacher ratio (16.3:1) than many lower-performing peers, suggesting that teacher quality and school culture matter more than class size alone. Its standout performance in Social Studies—83% proficiency, 28 points above the state average—points to a uniquely effective curriculum.
