DORSET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dorset Elementary School is a public elementary school with about 188 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 18 teachers, Dorset Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.
