DEAF/HARD OF HEARING

DEAF/HARD OF HEARING is a public school that is part of the INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT 917 school district, located in BURNSVILLE, MN with about 41 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 19 teachers, DEAF/HARD OF HEARING has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. 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 school located at 613 E 130th St in Burnsville, Minnesota, serves as a specialized educational facility for students who are **Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH)**. It operates under the umbrella of **Intermediate School District 917**, which is a public educational cooperative that provides specialized services and support for students with unique learning needs across several member districts in the south metro area of the Twin Cities.

This facility is designed to provide a highly tailored learning environment that prioritizes communication access, language development, and academic success for students with varying degrees of hearing loss. By utilizing specialized instructional techniques and a team of professionals trained in DHH education, the school helps ensure that students receive the appropriate accommodations—such as audiological support and assistive technology—necessary to participate fully in their education while fostering both social-emotional growth and individualized academic progress.
