Dobson James Sch is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Philadelphia City SD school district, located in Philadelphia, PA with about 269 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.

With about 21 teachers, Dobson James Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.
