DORA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

DORA ELEMENTARY is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the DORA school district, located in DORA, NM with about 138 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th 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 11 teachers, DORA ELEMENTARY has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

DORA ELEMENTARY, located in the small rural community of Dora, New Mexico, serves as a foundational component of the Dora Consolidated Schools district. As a small-town educational institution, the school focuses on fostering a close-knit learning environment where faculty, students, and the local community work collaboratively. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, the school is able to offer personalized attention, aiming to support the academic growth and social development of its students in a supportive, rural setting.

The school is dedicated to providing a balanced curriculum that emphasizes core academic subjects while encouraging extracurricular participation to help students develop well-rounded skills. As part of a district that serves K-12 students, DORA ELEMENTARY places a strong value on continuity, preparing young learners for the transition into secondary education.
