Lehigh Valley Dual Language Charter Scho is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Lehigh Valley Dual Language CS school district, located in Bethlehem, PA with about 459 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th 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 24 teachers, Lehigh Valley Dual Language Charter Scho 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.
