CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL

CENTRAL MIDDLE is a Title I public middle school that is part of the CENTRAL PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in NORWOOD YOUNG AMERICA, MN with about 224 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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 14 teachers, CENTRAL MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.
