Teacher to Student Ratio

Both Method charters adhere to a 25:1 student/teacher ratio using California credentialed teachers.

Both Method charters adhere to a 25:1 student/teacher ratio using California credentialed teachers. For 2019-20, both charters are lowering the ratio to 20:1 and will monitor the results. Measuring will occur by comparing internal assessments and state testing results of students who were a part of the 25:1 and 20:1 ratios. How do we afford to drop to a 20:1 ratio when teacher instruction is the biggest budgeted line item we have? It's through saving money by using our own curriculum, by not offering a pension (we offer a 403b plan instead, which helps us control benefits costs) plan to employees, and by not having a parent company.
