Nelson Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Muskegon Public Schools of the City of school district, located in MUSKEGON, MI with about 258 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 27 teachers, Nelson Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
