FENTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Fenton Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Jefferson Davis Parish school district, located in Fenton, LA with about 120 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th 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 10 teachers, Fenton 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.

Fenton Elementary School is located in the small rural community of Fenton, Louisiana, serving as a primary educational anchor for families in Jefferson Davis Parish.

The school is part of the broader Jefferson Davis Parish School District, which emphasizes standard Louisiana state curriculum benchmarks while maintaining the values and community-oriented atmosphere common to rural parishes.

Because it is situated in a quiet, agricultural area, Fenton Elementary functions as a central hub for local engagement, often prioritizing strong teacher-student relationships and community involvement.
