TYRRELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Tyrrell Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Tyrrell County Schools school district, located in Columbia, NC with about 304 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 23 teachers, Tyrrell 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.

Tyrrell Elementary School, located at 486 Elementary School Road in Columbia, North Carolina, serves as the primary educational institution for elementary-aged children within the Tyrrell County School District.

The school is committed to fostering a supportive learning environment that emphasizes core curriculum standards while addressing the unique needs of its student population in the Albemarle region.

The school’s official website serves as a primary resource for parents, students, and community members to stay informed about academic calendars, district policies, and school-wide events. By emphasizing communication and community involvement, Tyrrell Elementary strives to maintain a collaborative partnership between families and educators. The institution focuses on building essential literacy and numeracy skills while preparing its students for success as they transition into the upper grade levels within the small, tight-knit school system of Tyrrell County.
