H.S. TRUMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

H.S. TRUMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a public elementary school that is part of the Guam Department of Education school district, located in STA.RITA, GU with about 372 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 32 teachers, H.S. TRUMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

H.S. TRUMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a public institution located in the village of Santa Rita, Guam. As part of the Guam Department of Education, it serves the local community by providing foundational education to elementary-aged students. The school is situated in a quiet, residential area of southern Guam, reflecting the island's unique educational landscape where public schools serve as central hubs for their respective village neighborhoods.

The school is named in honor of Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, which is a common practice among schools in Guam due to the island’s status as a U.S. territory. Like many schools in the district, H.S. Truman Elementary focuses on the core curriculum of literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies, while often integrating elements of local Chamorro culture and language to foster a strong sense of community identity among its diverse student body.
