CITY VIEW CHARTER SCHOOL

City View Charter School is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Hillsboro SD 1J school district, located in Hillsboro, OR with about 190 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 10 teachers, City View Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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.
