GLOBAL COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the GLOBAL COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 415 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 39 teachers, GLOBAL COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
