Teachers are so nice and connect with the students well. My student has learned so much in the past 3 years and we've seen a great increase in GPA and performance. She has had no problems making friends and she is even acting better at home. She is really into drama and Choir and the arts program there is great! Especially their theatre department! I love ELA!

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.
