ARCO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ARCO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the BUTTE COUNTY JOINT DISTRICT school district, located in ARCO, ID with about 193 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 10 teachers, ARCO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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.

ARCO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, located at 250 South Water Street in Arco, Idaho, serves as a foundational educational institution for the local community. Situated in the heart of the Lost River Valley, the school functions as a key component of the Butte County School District. It provides primary education to students in the region, focusing on core academic subjects while fostering a supportive environment tailored to the needs of a small-town student population.

As the primary elementary facility for Arco and its surrounding areas, the school emphasizes a tight-knit community atmosphere where teachers and staff prioritize individualized student growth. The school is integrated into the local culture of the high-desert region, often leveraging its location to provide students with a sense of place within the broader context of Idaho’s history and geography.
