Open Quote Every rating has WA as having the best school systems. I was a student that attended and graduated from Boston University. Tons of honors courses to choose from with all the teachers with Masters degrees. I along with all my friends enjoyed the school tremendously and if in a financial position to reside here I will.

Open Quote Awesome school. Like any place, it is as good as it's teachers and there are a handful of teachers that would be good if your child avoided. Other than that, it is close to perfection. 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.
