MARINE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Marine Elem School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Triad CUSD 2 school district, located in Marine, IL with about 130 students offering grade levels from 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 8 teachers, Marine 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.

Marine Elementary School is a small, public school located in the village of Marine, Illinois, serving students in the Edwardsville Community Unit School District 7. As a neighborhood-focused institution, it is known for providing a close-knit, supportive educational environment that prioritizes foundational learning for its primary-aged students. Because it is part of a larger, high-performing district, the school benefits from the resources and curriculum standards of District 7 while maintaining the intimate atmosphere of a smaller, rural-community school.

The school is centered on fostering both academic and social-emotional growth, often emphasizing small class sizes and personalized attention to help students transition through their early developmental years. Located in the heart of Marine, the school acts as a focal point for the community, encouraging parental involvement and local partnerships. By balancing a traditional academic approach with a strong focus on building character and community values, Marine Elementary prepares its students for their continued education within the district's broader school system.
