PIERCE SCHOOL

Pierce School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Flint School District of the City of school district, located in FLINT, MI with about 220 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th 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 12 teachers, Pierce School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

Pierce School, located at 1101 West Vernon Drive in Flint, Michigan, is a historic educational institution that has long served the local community as part of the Flint Community Schools district. The facility reflects the traditional architectural style common to many of Flint’s neighborhood schools, serving as a centralized hub for primary education in the southwestern portion of the city. As a public school within a district that has navigated significant urban challenges, Pierce has historically focused on providing essential academic foundations and fostering a sense of community for its students.

In recent years, the school has operated within a district that has undergone various strategic reorganizations and consolidations aimed at balancing resource allocation with shifting demographic needs in Flint. While specific programmatic offerings and enrollment figures are subject to the district's annual updates, Pierce School remains a notable part of the Flint educational landscape. Families and community members often view the school as an important neighborhood anchor, dedicated to supporting the growth and development of the youth in the surrounding Vernon Drive area.
