BETHANY COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Bethany Community School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Bethany School District school district, located in Bethany, CT with about 364 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th 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 35 teachers, Bethany Community School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

As the sole elementary school in the Bethany Public School District, the school is deeply integrated into the local community and places a high value on maintaining a nurturing, small-town learning environment. The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive academic foundation while fostering the social and emotional development of its students, preparing them for the transition to middle school.
