MATTAMUSKEET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Mattamuskeet Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Hyde County Schools school district, located in Swan Quarter, NC with about 237 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, Mattamuskeet Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

Mattamuskeet Elementary School, located in the rural community of Swan Quarter, North Carolina, serves as a vital educational hub within the Hyde County School District.

The school is deeply integrated into the small, tight-knit community of Hyde County, often serving as a central point for local families and fostering a close-knit learning atmosphere that emphasizes personal attention and community values.
