JORDAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Jordan Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Centralia SD 135 school district, located in Centralia, IL with about 218 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 3rd 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 16 teachers, Jordan Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

Jordan Elementary School, located at 311 Airport Road in Centralia, Illinois, serves as a primary educational institution within the Centralia City School District 135. The school is dedicated to fostering a foundational learning environment for elementary-aged students, focusing on core academic subjects such as literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. By providing a structured curriculum, the school aims to build the necessary skills and confidence students need to succeed as they progress toward middle school and beyond.

Beyond academics, Jordan Elementary places a strong emphasis on the social and emotional development of its student body. The school culture encourages community, collaboration, and character building, often leveraging its local connection to the Centralia area to create a supportive, small-town atmosphere. With a commitment to meeting the diverse needs of its students, the school works closely with families and the community to ensure that every child is provided with the resources and encouragement required for a positive start to their educational journey.
