SALEM EARLY CHILDHOOD

Salem Early Childhood is a public prekindergarten school that is part of the Salem school district, located in Salem, MA with about 93 students. With about 7 teachers, Salem Early Childhood has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.
