GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER INSTITUTE

George Washington Carver Institute is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the East Orange School District school district, located in EAST ORANGE, NJ with about 319 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten 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, George Washington Carver Institute has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
