What Parents Should Know

At 7:1 students to teachers, Northland Learning Center 020 sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
59% of students at Northland Learning Center 020 were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
