ARMSTRONG-ELLIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Armstrong-Ellis Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Armstrong-Ellis Cons SD 61 school district, located in Armstrong, IL with about 73 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th 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 11 teachers, Armstrong-Ellis Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. 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.

Armstrong-Ellis Elementary School, located in the rural community of Armstrong, Illinois, serves as a primary educational hub for local families. As the sole school in the Armstrong-Ellis Consolidated School District #61, it operates as a small-town institution focused on providing foundational education to students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade. Its setting in a small agricultural village fosters a tight-knit environment where class sizes are typically smaller, allowing for more individualized attention between students and staff.

The school is deeply integrated into the identity of the Armstrong community, often acting as a focal point for local engagement and extracurricular activities. Because it serves a wide age range within a single building, the school emphasizes a consistent developmental path for its students, preparing them for the transition to regional high schools. By maintaining a supportive, community-centered atmosphere, Armstrong-Ellis aims to provide a stable and personalized learning experience that reflects the values of its surrounding rural area.
