BCIG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

BCIG Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school with about 336 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 28 teachers, BCIG 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.

BCIG Elementary School, located at 403 Barnes St in Ida Grove, Iowa, serves as a primary educational hub for the local community. As part of the OABCIG Community School District, the school is dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment that focuses on foundational academic development, social-emotional growth, and student engagement. By leveraging the resources of the larger district, the elementary school works to prepare its young students for future success through a curriculum that emphasizes both core subjects and extracurricular enrichment.

Through their official website, the school maintains transparent communication regarding district policies, academic calendars, and school news, ensuring that parents remain active participants in their children's education.
