MT. HERMAN ESE CENTER

MT. HERMAN ESE CENTER is a Title I public school that is part of the DUVAL school district, located in JACKSONVILLE, FL with about 150 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 23 teachers, MT. HERMAN ESE CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. 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.

MT. HERMAN ESE CENTER, located in Jacksonville, Florida, is a specialized educational facility within the Duval County Public Schools district.

The staff at Mt. Herman works collaboratively with families and specialists to create a structured and supportive atmosphere that prioritizes both functional life skills and academic milestones.
