AVERY/PARSONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

AVERY/PARSONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Buena Vista School District No. R-31 school district, located in BUENA VISTA, CO with about 486 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 30 teachers, AVERY/PARSONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Avery-Parsons Elementary School, located in the mountain town of Buena Vista, Colorado, serves as a core educational hub for the local community. Operating as part of the Buena Vista School District, the school is dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment that emphasizes academic growth, character development, and student well-being. By focusing on fundamental skills and social-emotional learning, Avery-Parsons strives to prepare its elementary-aged students for success as they transition into the middle school years.

Beyond academics, the school benefits significantly from its location in the heart of the Arkansas River Valley. The district utilizes its surroundings to encourage active engagement, aiming to build a strong sense of community and school spirit among its students, staff, and families.
