Open Quote Prospect is using an ambitious curriculum that seems to be showing results. The problems lie in the lack of programs for elementary children struggling to stay at grade level. Math or reading "labs" are not available to provide the repetition and the reiteration that has proven to strengthen reading and math skills in the many who need it. They generally see two types of children average and AIG (advanced intellectually gifted. The children with weak reading or math skills have the option of after school tutoring once a week, private tutoring, or grade remediation. They choose to ignore the percentage of children who need a different learning vehicle than the standard classroom protocol. Children without a learning disability are assumed to be "not applying themselves", rather than in need of repetition and different phrasing to master a skill or understand concepts. 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.
