BURGER DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Burger Development Center is a public school that is part of the Garden City Public Schools school district, located in Inkster, MI with about 205 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 63 teachers, Burger Development Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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 **Burger Development Center**, located in Inkster, Michigan, is a specialized educational facility operated by the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency (Wayne RESA). It serves students with significant cognitive and physical disabilities, generally ranging in age from birth through 26 years. The school is designed to provide a highly supportive environment that prioritizes individualized instruction, life-skills development, and therapeutic support to help students reach their highest levels of independence.

The center utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating academic curriculum with essential services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and nursing care. By maintaining a low student-to-staff ratio and utilizing specialized equipment, the facility creates a safe, inclusive space tailored to the complex needs of its student population. The school’s ultimate goal is to foster personal growth and community participation for students who require intensive, specialized educational intervention throughout their developmental years.
