PREK

PREK is a public prekindergarten school that is part of the LEON school district, located in TALLAHASSEE, FL with about 116 students. With about 7 teachers, PREK has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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 location provided corresponds to the **Appleyard Drive campus** in Tallahassee, Florida, which is a major facility within the **Leon County Schools** district. While the address is often associated with specialized district programs, it is most notably the home of the **Leon County Schools Pre-K/Early Childhood Education programs**. This facility serves as a central hub for the district’s efforts to provide foundational learning experiences to young children before they enter kindergarten.

The school district’s mission at this location is centered on developmental readiness, focusing on school-readiness skills, social-emotional growth, and early literacy. By consolidating early childhood resources at this site, the Leon County School District aims to bridge the achievement gap early and provide a structured, supportive environment for toddlers and preschoolers. Families interested in enrollment, specific program offerings, or district-wide early education policies can find detailed information through the official Leon County Schools website linked above.
