This school emphasizes real education and social adjustment over test scores. Often, too, the test scores are skewed because of the influx of older (2nd & 3rd grade) students from other schools whose parents only recently discovered the quality here. It is moderately diverse and extremely welcoming, despite its MN suburban status. The administration is minimal and very effective; the teachers are dedicated, and stay on the cusp of new education trends. The students all love it there (I've talked to them). 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.
