A Kindergarten teacher sent my son home with another mother without my permission, on the snowiest day of the year, to a mother that has cognitive disabilities. The principal, Friedel, backed up the decision of the teacher, clearly indicating that she had not read the policies and procedures of the district. This principal countered the policies of the district. Rather than sue them, I opted for an apology from the principal and teacher. Only the principal apologized. I consider this school unsafe for my child and sent him to school out of state following this incident. 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.
