GOULD EDUCATIONAL CENTER

Gould Educational Center is a Title I public school that is part of the Madera County Superintendent of Schools school district, located in Madera, CA with about 339 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th 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 43 teachers, Gould Educational Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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 Gould Educational Center, located in Madera, California, operates under the Madera County Superintendent of Schools as a specialized educational facility. The center is primarily dedicated to serving students with diverse learning needs, providing a supportive environment for individuals who require specialized academic, behavioral, and transitional support services that may not be available in a traditional general education classroom.

The school is deeply integrated into the Madera County Office of Education (MCOE) system, which emphasizes inclusive practices and individualized instruction. Through its programming, the Gould Educational Center focuses on fostering both academic growth and life skills, aiming to empower its students to achieve their personal best. By maintaining a focus on small class sizes and personalized interventions, the center provides a structured setting designed to help students overcome barriers to learning and prepare them for future success within their communities.
