Open Quote I think this school's organization is horrible, the teachers are not there to teach & they write referrals the stupidest things. I personally think that they're firing the wrong people. I think that the state should take some time to examine their teaching staff. Our school gets such horrible test scores because our teachers are failing to teach us, they skip chapters & when it comes time to take the CST's we don't know what is going on because we were never taught. I am a good student, not a behavior problem, always got very good state test scores & a teacher had wrote me a referral for saying "dog" now that's a bit ridiculous. (His recomendation was three saturday schools) There needs to be A LOT done to this school. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio
Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
