BATES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

BATES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Jackson Public Schools school district, located in Jackson, MS with about 315 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 18 teachers, BATES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
