21st Century Primary Center is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Park Forest SD 163 school district, located in Park Forest, IL with about 193 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 3rd 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 15 teachers, 21st Century Primary Center 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.
