I have had 3 children in Cesar Chavez Elementary at some point over the previous 8 years. Two of my children were enrolled from K - 5th grade and currently we have one child that has been there from K through 2nd grade. We have been very involved parents with the PTA, teachers, and the administration. Our experience has been excellent and we have been very satisfied with most of the teachers that our children have had over the years. I would highly recommend Cesar Chavez to anyone thinking of moving into the LEISD school district. 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.
