SCHMITT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

SCHMITT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the School District No. 1 in the county of Denver and State of C school district, located in DENVER, CO with about 309 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 24 teachers, SCHMITT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

SCHMITT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, located in the Westwood neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, is a public school within the Denver Public Schools (DPS) district. The school serves a diverse student population and is deeply integrated into its local community.
