What Parents Should Know
At 56 students, Stratford Public School is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
At 9.3:1 students to teachers, Stratford Public School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
Stratford Public 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.
