CHEMEHUEVI VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Chemehuevi Valley Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Needles Unified school district, located in Havasu Lake, CA with about 45 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th 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 2 teachers, Chemehuevi Valley Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. 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.

Chemehuevi Valley Elementary is a small, remote public school located in Havasu Lake, California, and operates as part of the Needles Unified School District.
