What Parents Should Know
At 65 students, Prek is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
At 8.1:1 students to teachers, Prek sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
