PREMIER ARTS AND SCIENCE CHARTER SCHOOL

Premier Arts and Science Charter School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Premier Arts and Science CS school district, located in Harrisburg, PA with about 211 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 14 teachers, Premier Arts and Science Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

Premier Arts and Science Charter School (PASCS) is a public charter school located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, serving students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The school operates with a dual focus, aiming to integrate a rigorous academic curriculum in core subjects like math and science with a robust arts program.

As a charter school, PASCS operates independently of the local school district while remaining tuition-free and open to the public. Its mission is centered on providing high-quality instruction within a supportive community, often highlighting smaller class sizes and personalized attention to help students achieve proficiency in state standards.
