JAMES COLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

James Cole Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Tippecanoe School Corp school district, located in Lafayette, IN with about 290 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 15 teachers, James Cole Elementary 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.

James Cole Elementary School is located in the southeastern area of Lafayette, Indiana, and serves as part of the Tippecanoe School Corporation. Situated in a more rural setting along East 900 South, the school typically provides education for students from kindergarten through the fifth grade.
