AVERY

Avery is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Dedham school district, located in Dedham, MA with about 321 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade 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 28 teachers, Avery 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.

The Avery Elementary School, located at 336 High Street in Dedham, Massachusetts, is one of the four elementary schools within the Dedham Public Schools district.
