What Parents Should Know

At 188 students, MS 113 Ronald Edmonds Learning Center 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 7.5:1 students to teachers, MS 113 Ronald Edmonds Learning Center sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

69% of students at MS 113 Ronald Edmonds Learning Center were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
