GROWTH PUBLIC

Growth Public is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Sacramento City Unified school district, located in Sacramento, CA with about 112 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 1st Grade. With about 4 teachers, Growth Public has a student/teacher ratio of about 28:1. 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.
