About 1st Class Montessori
1st Class Montessori is a private elementary school in Memphis, TN. 1st Class Montessori serves approximately 12 students, and covers grades Pre-K-2nd, and has a 6:1 student-teacher ratio. MySchoolScout does not publish a rating for this profile because there is not enough verified data to rate it fairly. Based on limited data: 0% component coverage.
What Parents Should Know
At 12 students, 1st Class Montessori 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 6:1 students to teachers, 1st Class Montessori sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
1st Class Montessori is private, so it runs independently of the local district and sets its own curriculum. That freedom cuts both ways depending on what you want for your child. If you're considering it, start with the practical questions: tuition, financial aid, and how admissions work.
