PARK SCHOOL

Park School is a public school that is part of the Evanston Dists 65/202 Jnt Agr school district, located in Evanston, IL with about 66 students. With about 16 teachers, Park School has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. 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 Park School, located at 828 Main Street in Evanston, Illinois, is a specialized educational facility operated by the Evanston/Skokie School District 65. It serves as a therapeutic day school dedicated to supporting students with significant social, emotional, and behavioral needs. The school provides a highly structured environment with a low student-to-teacher ratio, ensuring that every learner receives individualized attention tailored to their specific developmental and academic goals.

Beyond standard academics, Park School places a heavy emphasis on therapeutic support and life-skills development. The faculty includes a multidisciplinary team—comprising special education teachers, social workers, psychologists, and therapists—who work collaboratively to foster a supportive climate. By integrating intensive behavioral interventions with a comprehensive curriculum, the school aims to help students build self-regulation, improve social interactions, and eventually transition back to less restrictive educational settings within the district.
