The LCCS maintains a low student/teacher ratio at all grade levels
in order to encourage students and teachers to develop closely
knit, mentoring relationships and allow teachers to employ more
individualized and interactive instructional strategies. Small
class sizes enable teachers to foster caring relationships among
students and will strengthen the community fabric of the school.
When teachers know student backgrounds, strengths, and challenges
well and when students feel a "part of a community,"
student achievement rises.
