PEETZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

PEETZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the School District No. Re-5 Plateau school district, located in PEETZ, CO with about 98 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 9 teachers, PEETZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

PEETZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, located at 311 Coleman in Peetz, Colorado, serves as the primary educational facility for the youngest students in the Peetz Plateau School District RE-5.

Being part of a small district, the elementary school is integrated into a close-loop campus culture where students often benefit from smaller class sizes and a focused, collaborative approach to learning.

By leveraging its rural setting, Peetz Elementary often fosters a strong sense of school spirit and connection between staff, students, and local families.
