WEST SIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

West Side Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the West Side Union Elementary school district, located in Healdsburg, CA with about 182 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 7 teachers, West Side Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 26:1. 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.

West Side Elementary School, located on Felta Road in Healdsburg, California, is the heart of the single-school West Side Union School District. Serving a small, tight-knit community in the scenic Dry Creek Valley, the school is known for its intimate, personalized learning environment.

The school prides itself on being a hub for the local community, maintaining small class sizes and a curriculum that focuses on both rigorous academic standards and the development of well-rounded, thoughtful students.
