At 7.5:1 students to teachers, Stubbs Early Education Center sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
62% of students at Stubbs Early Education Center were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
