ORO GRANDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Oro Grande Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Oro Grande school district, located in Oro Grande, CA with about 109 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th 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 3 teachers, Oro Grande Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 36:1. 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.

The school operates under the broader mission of the Oro Grande School District, which is known for its focus on modern educational strategies, including independent study and innovative classroom technology.
