ARTS ACADEMY ELEMENTARY CHARTER SCHOOL

Arts Academy Elementary Charter School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Arts Academy Elementary CS school district, located in Allentown, PA with about 410 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 25 teachers, Arts Academy Elementary Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.
