NEW JERUSALEM

New Jerusalem is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the New Jerusalem Elementary school district, located in Tracy, CA with about 218 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, New Jerusalem has a student/teacher ratio of about 27:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
