With a student-teacher ratio of 4.5:1, Safe Harbor School 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, Safe Harbor School operates independently from the local public school district.
