MCCOLLOM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

McCollom Elem is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Wichita school district, located in Wichita, KS with about 450 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 27 teachers, McCollom Elem 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.

McCollom Elementary School is a public school located in Wichita, Kansas, and operates as part of the Wichita Public Schools (USD 259) district. Situated in the northwest part of the city at 1201 Waddington, the school serves students from diverse backgrounds and is dedicated to providing a comprehensive academic foundation. Like other schools within the district, McCollom emphasizes the importance of core curriculum standards while striving to foster a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages student growth and development.

Beyond standard academics, the school functions as a community hub that focuses on the social and emotional well-being of its students. By leveraging the resources of the larger USD 259 district, McCollom Elementary works to provide teachers and families with the tools necessary to prepare students for success in middle school and beyond. For parents and community members interested in specific programs, current curriculum updates, or enrollment information, the official USD 259 website serves as the primary portal for school news and district-wide initiatives.
