WEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

WEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Gulfport School District school district, located in Gulfport, MS with about 364 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th 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, WEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
