NEBO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Nebo Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the McDowell County Schools school district, located in Nebo, NC with about 368 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 28 teachers, Nebo Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
