PRIMERO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

PRIMERO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Primero Reorganized School District No. 2 school district, located in WESTON, CO with about 96 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, PRIMERO 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.

PRIMERO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a small, rural public school located in Weston, Colorado, serving students in Las Animas County. Situated along State Highway 12, the school is part of the Primero School District Re-2, which is known for its intimate educational environment. Because of its remote location in the scenic foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the school plays a central role in the local community, often focusing on personalized instruction and strong relationships between students, staff, and families.

The school is characterized by its small class sizes, which allow for a more individualized approach to learning compared to larger urban districts. As a PK–12 district, Primero provides a unique continuity of education where elementary students interact within a close-knit campus culture. The school emphasizes core academic standards while leveraging its rural setting to provide students with a supportive, community-oriented atmosphere that prioritizes both personal growth and academic development.
