Coquillard Traditional School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the South Bend Community School Corp school district, located in South Bend, IN with about 458 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 21 teachers, Coquillard Traditional School has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. 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.

Coquillard Traditional School, located in the Northwest neighborhood of South Bend, Indiana, operates as a magnet school within the South Bend Community School Corporation.

Beyond its academic structure, Coquillard is known for its focus on character development and family engagement. The school community often highlights the importance of consistency, parental involvement, and uniform policies as cornerstones of the student experience. By maintaining a clear set of behavioral and academic expectations, Coquillard aims to provide a stable, goal-oriented learning environment for its diverse student body in the South Bend area.
