BRASS CITY CHARTER SCHOOL

Brass City Charter School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Brass City Charter School District school district, located in Waterbury, CT with about 254 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th 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 23 teachers, Brass City Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Brass City Charter School (BCCS), located at 212 Chestnut Ave. in Waterbury, Connecticut, is a tuition-free public charter school dedicated to providing a high-quality education to children in the local community. The school serves students in grades K–8, focusing on creating a rigorous academic environment that prepares students for success in high school, college, and beyond. BCCS emphasizes a holistic approach to education, combining core academic subjects with character development and a strong sense of community.

Central to the school’s mission is the belief that every child can achieve academic excellence regardless of their background. To support this, Brass City Charter School maintains a structured environment characterized by extended school days and a longer academic year, which allows for deeper exploration of the curriculum and extra support for student growth. By fostering a partnership between teachers, families, and the community, BCCS strives to close the achievement gap and empower students to become responsible, lifelong learners.
