FURLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Furley Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools school district, located in Baltimore, MD with about 435 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 25 teachers, Furley Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. 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.

Furley Elementary School, located on Furley Avenue in the Belair-Edison neighborhood of Baltimore, serves as a foundational academic institution within the Baltimore City Public Schools system.

The school places a strong emphasis on community involvement and the development of the "whole child," providing resources and programming designed to meet the diverse needs of its neighborhood population. As a hub within the community, Furley Elementary works closely with families and local stakeholders to ensure students have access to the support services necessary to thrive.
