BLAKESBURG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Blakesburg Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Eddyville-Blakesburg- Fremont CSD school district, located in Blakesburg, IA with about 140 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th 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 13 teachers, Blakesburg Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Blakesburg Elementary, located at 407 S. Wilson in Blakesburg, Iowa, serves as a foundational educational institution within its rural community.

The school functions as a central hub for local families, often prioritizing character development alongside core curriculum standards to ensure students are well-prepared for their transition to secondary education.
