Kennedy School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Butte Elem school district, located in Butte, MT with about 253 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 16 teachers, Kennedy School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
