What Parents Should Know
At 6.8:1 students to teachers, The Calverton School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
The Calverton School is private, so it runs independently of the local district and sets its own curriculum. That freedom cuts both ways depending on what you want for your child. If you're considering it, start with the practical questions: tuition, financial aid, and how admissions work.
The Calverton School sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
