MOUNT ERIE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Mount Erie Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the North Wayne CUSD 200 school district, located in Mount Erie, IL with about 74 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 4th 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 6 teachers, Mount Erie Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Mount Erie Elementary School is a small, rural public school located in the village of Mount Erie, Illinois. As part of the Edwards County Community Unit School District #1, the school serves a tight-knit community, providing foundational education for students in the surrounding agricultural region. Because of its rural setting, the school typically fosters a close, family-oriented environment where small class sizes allow for personalized attention and strong relationships between students, teachers, and local families.

Academically and operationally, the school functions as a key pillar of the Mount Erie community, focusing on core curriculum development and fundamental learning skills. Being part of a larger district allows the school to balance the advantages of a small-town atmosphere with the resources and administrative support of the broader Edwards County district. While it is a modest facility, it plays a vital role in the social and intellectual development of the area's youth, prioritizing a safe and supportive atmosphere for early childhood and primary education.
