What Parents Should Know

With a student-teacher ratio of 9:1, Faith Lutheran 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, Faith Lutheran School operates independently from the local public school district.

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.
