SARAH GREENWOOD

Sarah Greenwood is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Boston school district, located in Dorchester, MA with about 402 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, Sarah Greenwood has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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 Sarah Greenwood School, located at 189 Glenway Street in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, is a K-8 institution serving as part of the Boston Public Schools (BPS) district. It is widely recognized as a "dual-language" school, offering a robust bilingual education program in both English and Spanish. This model is designed to promote biliteracy and biculturalism, allowing students to develop academic proficiency in two languages while fostering a culturally inclusive learning environment.

Beyond its focus on dual-language immersion, the school emphasizes a well-rounded academic curriculum aimed at preparing students for high school success. As a BPS institution, it benefits from district-wide resources and initiatives, focusing on community engagement and the academic growth of its diverse student body. The school serves as a focal point for the local Dorchester community, prioritizing a supportive and collaborative atmosphere for families and students alike.
