SOUTHWEST LICKING EARLY LEARNING CENTER

Southwest Licking Early Learning Center is a public prekindergarten school that is part of the Southwest Licking Local school district, located in Etna, OH with about 96 students. With about 4 teachers, Southwest Licking Early Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 24:1. 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 Southwest Licking Early Learning Center, located in Etna, Ohio, serves as the foundational educational facility for the Southwest Licking Local School District.
