ARICKAREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ARICKAREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Arickaree School District No. R-2 school district, located in ANTON, CO with about 45 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 6 teachers, ARICKAREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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.

ARICKAREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, located in Anton, Colorado, serves as the primary educational facility for the Arickaree School District R-2. As a small, rural institution, it plays a central role in the local community, emphasizing a personalized learning environment where students receive individualized attention due to smaller class sizes. The school is dedicated to fostering both academic achievement and character development, aiming to prepare its students for success in higher grades and beyond while maintaining the close-knit traditions typical of a small Colorado plains town.

The school operates under the broader mission of the Arickaree district, which prioritizes community engagement, student growth, and technological integration despite its remote location. By maintaining a focus on core subjects alongside extracurricular opportunities, Arickaree Elementary strives to provide a well-rounded education.
