HOPE ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL

Hope Academy Charter School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Hope Academy Charter School school district, located in ASBURY PARK, NJ with about 219 students offering grade levels from 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 22 teachers, Hope Academy Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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.
