RUTH OWENS KRUSE EDUCATION CENTER

RUTH OWENS KRUSE EDUCATION CENTER is a Title I public school that is part of the MIAMI-DADE school district, located in MIAMI, FL with about 153 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 39 teachers, RUTH OWENS KRUSE EDUCATION CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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 RUTH OWENS KRUSE EDUCATION CENTER, located in Miami, Florida, is a specialized K-12 institution operating within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system. The school is specifically designed to serve students with emotional and behavioral disabilities (EBD) who require a highly structured, therapeutic, and supportive environment to succeed academically and socially. By providing a low student-to-teacher ratio and a focus on individualized education plans, the center aims to help students gain the necessary tools to regulate their behaviors and achieve their academic potential.

Beyond its core academic curriculum, the school places a heavy emphasis on social-emotional learning and behavioral modification. The campus is staffed by a dedicated multidisciplinary team—including teachers, counselors, and support staff—who work collaboratively to foster a safe and nurturing atmosphere. The ultimate goal of the RUTH OWENS KRUSE EDUCATION CENTER is to provide students with the interventions they need to eventually transition back to traditional school settings or prepare for success in post-secondary life.
