KEENE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Keene Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the River View Local school district, located in Keene, OH with about 251 students offering grade levels from 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 15 teachers, Keene Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Keene Elementary School, located in the rural community of Keene, Ohio, serves as a focal point for the local educational experience within the Coshocton City/County region.

The school is part of the broader educational landscape of Coshocton County, often emphasizing a curriculum that balances core academic subjects like literacy, mathematics, and science with social development.
