LUCIE school district, located in FORT PIERCE, FL with about 199 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.

With about 27 teachers, DALE CASSENS EDUCATION COMPLEX 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.

Through a combination of individualized instruction, specialized support services, and character development initiatives, Dale Cassens works to foster a safe and structured atmosphere.
