PUTNAM EDGE HIGH SCHOOL

PUTNAM EDGE HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the PUTNAM school district, located in PALATKA, FL with about 102 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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, PUTNAM EDGE HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.

PUTNAM EDGE HIGH SCHOOL, located in Palatka, Florida, is an alternative educational institution within the Putnam County School District.
