WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Washington Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Pana CUSD 8 school district, located in Pana, IL with about 335 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd 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 17 teachers, Washington Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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.

Washington Elementary School, located in Pana, Illinois, serves as a primary educational institution for the local community. As part of the Pana Community Unit School District #8, the school focuses on providing foundational academic instruction to students in the early grade levels, fostering an environment centered on core learning, social development, and preparation for middle school.

The school is deeply integrated into the small-town fabric of Pana, operating with a commitment to student growth and community engagement. By prioritizing essential skills in literacy, mathematics, and character development, Washington Elementary strives to create a supportive atmosphere where young learners can build the necessary academic and interpersonal tools to succeed as they progress through their educational journey.
