What Parents Should Know

At 105 students, School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies 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 9.5:1 students to teachers, School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

School for Agricultural and Environmental Studies 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.
