WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

WASHINGTON ES is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the ALVA school district, located in Alva, OK with about 261 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 1st 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 18 teachers, WASHINGTON ES has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

Washington Elementary School, located at 701 Barnes Avenue in Alva, Oklahoma, serves as a foundational educational institution within the Alva Public Schools district. The school is committed to providing a supportive and structured learning environment for students in the primary grades, focusing on essential academic development, character building, and social-emotional growth. As part of a smaller community-based district, Washington Elementary emphasizes close collaboration between teachers, students, and families to foster a positive educational experience.

The school operates under the broader mission of the Alva Public Schools system, which strives to equip students with the skills necessary for long-term academic success. By integrating core curriculum standards with local community values, Washington Elementary aims to prepare its young learners for their transition into the upper elementary and middle school years.
