COFFEEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Coffeen Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Hillsboro CUSD 3 school district, located in Coffeen, IL with about 244 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th 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 15 teachers, Coffeen Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Coffeen Elementary School is a small, rural public school located in the town of Coffeen, Illinois. It serves as a central hub for the local community, providing primary education to students in the surrounding area.

The school is characterized by its close-knit atmosphere, typical of many small-town Illinois institutions. Because of its size, it often benefits from lower student-to-teacher ratios, which allows for more personalized instruction and stronger relationships between staff, students, and families. While it focuses on the core curriculum of reading, mathematics, science, and social studies, the school also strives to instill community values and a sense of belonging in its student body, serving as an essential educational cornerstone for the Coffeen area.
