THOMAS M BALLIET

Thomas M Balliet is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Springfield school district, located in Springfield, MA with about 318 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 20 teachers, Thomas M Balliet has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

The Thomas M. Balliet School, located at 52 Rosewell Street in Springfield, Massachusetts, is a public elementary school serving students within the Springfield Public Schools district. The school is named in honor of Thomas M. Balliet, who served as a prominent educator and the Superintendent of Springfield Schools in the late 19th century. As a neighborhood-focused institution, it aims to provide a foundational educational experience that fosters academic growth and social development for children in the surrounding Springfield community.

As part of the larger Springfield Public Schools system, the school follows district-wide curricula and academic standards designed to prepare students for success in middle school and beyond. The school emphasizes core subjects such as literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies, while often integrating support services to meet the diverse needs of its student population. For families interested in current academic programs, staffing information, or school-specific initiatives, the school maintains a dedicated presence on the official Springfield Public Schools website, which serves as the primary portal for news, schedules, and administrative resources.
