WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the LAKE PEND OREILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in SANDPOINT, ID with about 314 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 15 teachers, WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
