GREATER SAN DIEGO ACADEMY

Greater San Diego Academy is a public charter school that is part of the Jamul-Dulzura Union Elementary school district, located in Jamul, CA with about 245 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 10 teachers, Greater San Diego Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 24:1. 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.
