PATTERSON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
PATTERSON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL is a public elementary school that is part of the Jefferson County School District No. R-1 school district, located in LAKEWOOD, CO with about 458 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. With about 23 teachers, PATTERSON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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.
PATTERSON INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, located at 1263 South Dudley Street in Lakewood, Colorado, is a specialized educational facility within the Jefferson County Public School District. Historically, the school has functioned as an intensive intervention program designed to support students who require a highly structured environment. It primarily serves middle and high school-aged students who have faced significant challenges in traditional classroom settings, often focusing on behavioral, emotional, and social-emotional growth alongside standard academic requirements.
The school is characterized by its small class sizes and a high staff-to-student ratio, which allows for personalized instruction and individualized behavior support plans. By emphasizing therapeutic support, restorative justice practices, and academic credit recovery, Patterson aims to help students stabilize their educational progress, build essential life skills, and eventually transition back to their home schools or successfully graduate. The environment is purposefully designed to be calm and predictable, fostering a safe space for students to refocus on their academic and personal development.
