With about 27 teachers, Imagine Andrews Public Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

**Imagine Andrews Public Charter School**, located on Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, is a unique educational institution that operates through a partnership between the public school system and the Department of Defense. As a public charter school, it is designed to serve a diverse population, with a primary mission of supporting the families of military personnel stationed at the base, alongside local residents. The school emphasizes a holistic approach to education, aiming to balance academic rigor with character development and social-emotional growth.

The school is well-regarded for its focus on creating a supportive, community-oriented environment that addresses the specific needs of military-connected children, such as frequent transitions and deployments. By integrating the "Imagine Schools" philosophy—which prioritizes shared values, parent partnership, and academic excellence—the school strives to provide a stable and high-quality learning atmosphere. With its strategic location on the base, Imagine Andrews plays a vital role in providing consistency and continuity for students living in the military community, while also opening its doors to the broader Prince George’s County area.
