SOUTH ELEMENTARY CENTER

South Elementary Center is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the ST. PETER PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in SAINT PETER, MN with about 312 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 1st 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, South Elementary Center 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.
