BARACK OBAMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

BARACK OBAMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the NORMANDY SCHOOLS COLLABORATIVE school district, located in ST. LOUIS, MO with about 418 students offering grade levels from 1st 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 28 teachers, BARACK OBAMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

BARACK OBAMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, located on Jennings Station Road in St. Louis, Missouri, is a key institution within the Normandy Schools Collaborative. The school serves the local community by providing foundational K-5 education with a mission rooted in academic growth and student development. As part of a district that has historically focused on systemic improvement and educational equity, the school emphasizes preparing its students for success in middle school and beyond through a structured curriculum and supportive learning environment.

The school functions as a community hub for the Normandy area, reflecting the district’s commitment to providing accessible, high-quality public education. Through its affiliation with the Normandy Schools Collaborative, Barack Obama Elementary benefits from district-wide initiatives designed to bolster literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning.
