WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Washington Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Schuyler-Industry CUSD 5 school district, located in Rushville, IL with about 204 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 1st 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 12 teachers, Washington Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. 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.

Washington Elementary School, located at 100 Buchanan St. in Rushville, Illinois, serves as a foundational educational institution within the Schuyler-Industry School District. The school is dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment for young students in the Rushville community, focusing on core academic development, social-emotional growth, and preparing children for the transition to middle school.

As a staple of the local community, the school emphasizes a collaborative relationship between teachers, students, and families. By maintaining a student-centered approach, Washington Elementary aims to build a strong academic base while encouraging students to develop positive character traits and a lifelong curiosity for learning within a safe and structured setting.
