FLAT ROCK SCHOOL

Flat Rock School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Jackson County school district, located in Flat Rock, AL with about 130 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, Flat Rock School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Flat Rock School is a small, public K-8 institution located in the rural community of Flat Rock, Alabama. As part of the DeKalb County School District, it serves as a central hub for local families, providing a traditional educational environment that emphasizes core academic subjects and community engagement.
