Winthrop is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Ipswich school district, located in Ipswich, MA with about 378 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 33 teachers, Winthrop has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1.
