HOWARD SCHOOL

Howard School is a public school that is part of the Howard School school district, located in Ruston, LA with about 83 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 12th Grade. With about 12 teachers, Howard School 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.

The Howard School, located at 904 Deville Lane in Ruston, Louisiana, is a private educational institution dedicated to providing a specialized learning environment. The school is widely recognized for its commitment to serving students with learning differences, specifically those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other language-based learning challenges. By maintaining small class sizes and utilizing research-based, multisensory instructional methods, the school focuses on building academic confidence and equipping students with the tools they need to succeed in a traditional classroom setting.

Beyond its academic focus, the Howard School emphasizes a supportive and nurturing community culture. The curriculum is tailored to address the unique needs of each student, prioritizing individualized attention to help bridge gaps in literacy and executive functioning. Through a combination of specialized pedagogy and a low student-to-teacher ratio, the institution strives to foster both educational growth and social-emotional development, preparing its students to reach their full potential as independent learners.
