CLEARMONT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Clearmont Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Yancey County Schools school district, located in Burnsville, NC with about 116 students offering grade levels from 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 7 teachers, Clearmont Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
