What Parents Should Know
At 88 students, Meyer Center for Special Children 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 4.6:1 students to teachers, Meyer Center for Special Children sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
Meyer Center for Special Children is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school. Many charters are built around a specific model or focus, so it's worth understanding this one's mission, how enrollment works, and how it differs from the district schools nearby.
