PALMETTO CHARTER SCHOOL

PALMETTO CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the MANATEE school district, located in PALMETTO, FL with about 363 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten 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 30 teachers, PALMETTO CHARTER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

The school is designed to offer families an alternative educational environment, often focusing on specific instructional methods or curricula that distinguish it from standard neighborhood schools in the area.
