AMBER CHARTER SCHOOL

AMBER CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the AMBER CHARTER SCHOOL EAST HARLEM school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 495 students offering grade levels from 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, AMBER CHARTER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. 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.
