CALIFORNIA STEAM SANTA BARBARA

California STEAM Santa Barbara is a public charter school that is part of the Cuyama Joint Unified school district, located in Ontario, CA with about 51 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, California STEAM Santa Barbara 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.
