Despite these socioeconomic factors, Radley Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio of 20.1 students per teacher, compared to 12.3 at Eastgate School and 16.2 at Prickly Pear Elementary. This could be a contributing factor to Radley's academic success, as smaller class sizes may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.
