North Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Ithaca Public Schools school district, located in ITHACA, MI with about 332 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade 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 19 teachers, North Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
