SILVERTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

SILVERTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Silverton School District No. 1 in the county of San Juan school district, located in SILVERTON, CO with about 36 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 4 teachers, SILVERTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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.

SILVERTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, located at 1160 Snowden Street in Silverton, Colorado, serves as a vital educational hub for the high-altitude community of San Juan County. Operating as part of the Silverton School District, the institution is uniquely defined by its remote, mountainous setting. Because of its small student population and location, the school emphasizes a tight-knit, personalized learning environment that integrates local history and the surrounding Alpine landscape into its academic programming.

The school is committed to fostering academic excellence while promoting the social and emotional well-being of its students through small class sizes and individualized instruction. By leveraging its unique geography, Silverton Elementary encourages hands-on, place-based learning, often connecting students to the rich mining heritage and natural environment of the San Juan Mountains.
