MOTEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Moten ES is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the District of Columbia Public Schools school district, located in Washington, DC with about 401 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 29 teachers, Moten ES 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.

Moten Elementary School, located at 1565 Morris Rd SE in Washington, D.C., is a public institution operating under the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) system.

As part of the larger DCPS framework, the school aims to create a supportive learning environment that emphasizes core literacy and numeracy skills while fostering social-emotional development.

Like many schools within the D.C. public system, Moten Elementary focuses on closing achievement gaps and preparing students for the transition to middle school. The school leverages the district's centralized resources and curriculum standards to ensure students have access to a consistent educational experience.
