PRAIRIE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the School District No. Re-11 in the county of Weld and State of school district, located in NEW RAYMER, CO with about 107 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 8 teachers, PRAIRIE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

PRAIRIE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is located in the small, rural community of New Raymer, Colorado. As part of the Prairie School District RE-11, it serves as a central hub for students in the surrounding agricultural area, operating with a focus on maintaining a close-knit, community-oriented learning environment. Given its location in a sparsely populated region of Weld County, the school plays a vital role in providing essential educational services to families who might otherwise face long commutes to larger urban centers.

The school is characterized by its small class sizes and personalized approach to instruction, which allows teachers to tailor their lessons to meet the specific needs of individual students. While the facility serves the primary academic needs of the community, it often acts as a focal point for local engagement, reflecting the values and traditions of the New Raymer area. Like many rural institutions, Prairie Elementary emphasizes foundational academic skills while fostering a supportive atmosphere where students are encouraged to grow both personally and academically within their tight-knit peer group.
