SPECIAL EDUCATION
Special Education is a public school that is part of the El Dorado County Office of Education school district, located in Placerville, CA with about 200 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to Adult Education. With about 18 teachers, Special Education has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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 address and website provided correspond to the **El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE)**, specifically their specialized administrative and instructional facilities located in Placerville, California. Rather than a traditional K-12 school site, this location serves as a central hub for the county’s expansive Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) and various support programs. The office oversees a wide range of educational services designed to support students with diverse learning needs, including early intervention programs, specialized academic instruction, and transition services for students moving toward adulthood.
The EDCOE Special Education department is dedicated to providing inclusive, high-quality learning environments and resources for students from infancy through age 22. By coordinating with local school districts, the office ensures that students receive mandated accommodations and specialized support, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral interventions. For parents and educators, this facility acts as a primary resource for policy guidance, professional development, and the logistical coordination of essential educational services throughout El Dorado County.
