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 15 teachers, Gardner Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
