PETROVA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the SARANAC LAKE CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in SARANAC LAKE, NY with about 365 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 35 teachers, PETROVA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
