About Stevenson School Carmel Campus
Stevenson School Carmel Campus serves 247 students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in Carmel, California. This regular public elementary school boasts an impressive 7.7:1 student-teacher ratio with 32 full-time equivalent teachers, allowing for personalized attention and smaller class sizes that many families seek. The school has earned a strong 9.0 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout, reflecting its commitment to educational excellence.
While ranked #982 out of 1790 schools statewide, placing it in the 45th percentile among California elementary schools, this position represents solid performance within the state's competitive educational landscape. The intimate school environment, with fewer than 250 students across nine grade levels, creates opportunities for students to develop close relationships with teachers and peers throughout their elementary and middle school years. The low student-teacher ratio suggests that children receive individualized support as they progress from their earliest pre-kindergarten experiences through eighth grade preparation for high school.
Located on Dolores Street in Carmel, the school serves families in this picturesque mid-size suburb along the Monterey Peninsula, known for its scenic beauty and community-oriented atmosphere.
What Parents Should Know
With a student-teacher ratio of 7.7:1, Stevenson School Carmel Campus offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
As a private school, Stevenson School Carmel Campus operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
