CARUS SCHOOL

Carus School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Canby SD 86 school district, located in Oregon City, OR with about 473 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th 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, Carus School has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. 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.

Carus School, located in a rural setting just outside Oregon City, Oregon, serves as a community-focused elementary school within the Canby School District. As a small, neighborhood-oriented institution, it emphasizes a supportive and inclusive environment where students are encouraged to grow both academically and socially.
