GARDEN CITY ALTERNATE EDUCATION CENTER

Garden City Alternate Education Center is a Title I public school that is part of the Garden City school district, located in Garden City, KS with about 69 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

With about 12 teachers, Garden City Alternate Education Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.
