This school has a system if your acting out they take time from your child's 15 min to eat . So they have like 5 min only to gobble everything if they can! That's child abuse period! Just wrong! So annoyed when I heard my child tell me that! So they go hungry if they act out , hes in second grade people! 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.
