KIM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

KIM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a public elementary school that is part of the Kim Reorganized School District No. 88 school district, located in KIM, CO with about 26 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 3 teachers, KIM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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.

KIM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a small, rural public school located in the town of Kim, Colorado, serving a modest student population within the Kim Reorganized School District 88. As a cornerstone of its isolated prairie community in Las Animas County, the school provides essential primary education to local children. Due to the sparse population of the region, the school often operates with small class sizes, allowing for a personalized instructional environment where teachers can closely monitor individual student progress and foster a close-knit community atmosphere.

The school functions as a vital hub for the town of Kim, reflecting the values and needs of a rural agricultural community. Because of its size, Kim Elementary often emphasizes multi-grade instruction and community-integrated learning, striving to provide a robust academic experience despite the logistical challenges of being located in a remote area. It remains committed to preparing its students for success in secondary education while maintaining the cultural identity and resilience characteristic of Colorado’s small-town school districts.
