WASHINGTON CENTER

Washington Center is a public school that is part of the Greenville 01 school district, located in Greenville, SC with about 129 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 28 teachers, Washington Center 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.
