SCHOOL 3 is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the DUNKIRK CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in DUNKIRK, NY with about 251 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.
