THE COUGARS DEN

The Cougars Den is a public elementary school that is part of the AGWSR Comm School District school district, located in Ackley, IA with about 57 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Kindergarten. With about 2 teachers, The Cougars Den has a student/teacher ratio of about 28:1. 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.

As a part of the broader AGWSR school system, the campus emphasizes a commitment to preparing students for future success through a blend of traditional academics and community involvement.
