WABASSO SCHOOL

WABASSO SCHOOL is a Title I public school that is part of the INDIAN RIVER school district, located in SEBASTIAN, FL with about 109 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 12 teachers, WABASSO SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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.

WABASSO SCHOOL, located in Sebastian, Florida, is a specialized educational facility operated by the School District of Indian River County. Unlike a traditional K-12 campus, it is designed specifically to serve students with significant cognitive and physical disabilities. The school provides a highly supportive environment where the curriculum is tailored to the individual needs of each student, focusing on functional academics, life skills, communication development, and vocational training to help students reach their maximum potential for independence.

The school is recognized for its compassionate atmosphere and its commitment to inclusive practices. By utilizing small class sizes and a multidisciplinary team—which often includes speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists—WABASSO SCHOOL ensures that students receive the specialized attention required to navigate their educational and personal challenges. Through its focus on individualized instruction and community integration, the school plays a vital role in providing equitable learning opportunities for the students and families it serves within the Indian River County region.
