What Parents Should Know

At 160 students, Mcesa and Sugnet School Classroom Programs is on the smaller side.

Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 4.8:1 students to teachers, Mcesa and Sugnet School Classroom Programs sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

34% of students at Mcesa and Sugnet School Classroom Programs were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
