CITY NEIGHBORS CHARTER SCHOOL

City Neighbors Charter School is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools school district, located in Baltimore, MD with about 227 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 15 teachers, City Neighbors Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.
