DEWEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dewey Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the San Diego Unified school district, located in San Diego, CA with about 386 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 4th 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 15 teachers, Dewey Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.

Dewey Elementary School is a public school located in the Midway district of San Diego, California. Serving students from transitional kindergarten through fourth grade, it operates as part of the San Diego Unified School District. The school is notably situated near the Naval Base Point Loma, which leads to a student population that includes many children from military families, fostering a unique community environment centered around transition and service-connected mobility.

The school is recognized for its commitment to inclusive education and its focus on developing foundational literacy and numeracy skills. Because of its location and the transient nature of its military-connected demographic, Dewey Elementary prioritizes creating a supportive, welcoming atmosphere designed to help new students integrate quickly and thrive. The campus emphasizes social-emotional learning alongside standard academics, aiming to provide a stable and enriching educational experience for its diverse young learners.
