COUNTY COLLABORATIVE CHARTER

County Collaborative Charter is a public charter school that is part of the Mountain Empire Unified school district, located in Pine Valley, CA with about 32 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, County Collaborative Charter 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.
