Arcanum Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Arcanum-Butler Local school district, located in Arcanum, OH with about 484 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 4th 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 24 teachers, Arcanum Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
