Open Quote Look at the facts people. Most of the parents picking up their kids do not speak English and the Free & reduced lunches should give you a clue as to what this school is all about. We moved from KC without a clue as to where to move to in the Orlando area so this is where we ended up. I wish I had known about SchoolDigger a year and a half ago!! 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.
