THE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY SCHOOL

The Mountain Community Sch is a public charter elementary school that is part of the The Mountain Community Sch school district, located in Hendersonville, NC with about 200 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 14 teachers, The Mountain Community Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.
