LEICESTER CENTRAL SCHOOL

Leicester Central School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Otter Valley Unified Union School District #53 school district, located in Leicester, VT with about 44 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 4 teachers, Leicester Central School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Through its online presence and collaboration with the broader RNESU network, Leicester Central School provides resources and communication channels for parents and guardians to stay actively involved in their children's progress.
