CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Central Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Sidney Elem school district, located in Sidney, MT with about 341 students offering grade levels from Pre-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, Central Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.
Central Elementary School is located in Sidney, Montana, and serves as a foundational part of the Sidney Public Schools district. The school is dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment for young students, focusing on core academic development, social-emotional growth, and preparing children for the transition to middle school. As part of a smaller community, the school emphasizes a close-knit educational atmosphere where faculty and staff work to meet the diverse needs of their student body.
The school’s official website serves as a primary hub for communication between the district and the community, providing essential resources such as academic calendars, student handbooks, and updates on school events.
