CURTIS-TUFTS

Curtis-Tufts is a public high school that is part of the Medford school district, located in Medford, MA with about 13 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, Curtis-Tufts has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. 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.

The Curtis-Tufts School, located at 437 Main Street in Medford, Massachusetts, is a specialized educational program operating within the Medford Public Schools district. It is designed to serve students in grades 6 through 12 who require a therapeutic and supportive environment to succeed academically and socially. By prioritizing small class sizes and a high staff-to-student ratio, the school fosters a close-knit community that emphasizes individualized instruction and personalized learning plans tailored to each student's unique emotional and educational needs.

Beyond traditional academics, the Curtis-Tufts School places a strong emphasis on social-emotional learning and behavioral support. The curriculum is integrated with therapeutic services—including counseling and skill-building workshops—to help students develop the coping strategies and interpersonal skills necessary to thrive both inside and outside the classroom. The school’s overarching goal is to provide a stable, nurturing foundation that empowers students to overcome obstacles, achieve their academic potential, and successfully transition to post-secondary education or the workforce.
