CARLISLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Carlisle Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Southwest School Corporation school district, located in Carlisle, IN with about 179 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 14 teachers, Carlisle Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Carlisle Elementary School, located in the small town of Carlisle, Indiana, serves as a foundational educational institution for the local community. As part of the Southwest School Corporation, the school focuses on providing a supportive and structured learning environment for students in the elementary grades. Its location on West Eaton Street places it at the heart of the community, fostering close connections between the faculty, students, and local families.

The school is dedicated to core academic development, typically emphasizing literacy, mathematics, and social development during a child's most formative years. Because it serves a smaller, rural Indiana population, Carlisle Elementary often benefits from a tight-knit atmosphere where staff can provide more personalized attention to student needs. The school remains committed to preparing its students for success as they transition into the middle and high school levels within the district.
