CHEROKEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

CHEROKEE ES is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the CHEROKEE school district, located in Cherokee, OK with about 224 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 19 teachers, CHEROKEE ES has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Cherokee Elementary School, located at 700 S. Nebraska in Cherokee, Oklahoma, serves as a foundational educational institution for the local community. As part of the Cherokee Public School district, the elementary school is committed to fostering a supportive learning environment that emphasizes both academic growth and the personal development of its students. The school functions as a hub for the town’s youngest learners, providing a curriculum designed to build essential skills in literacy, mathematics, and social-emotional development.

Beyond the classroom, the school plays a vital role in the tight-knit Cherokee community, often serving as a focal point for local engagement and extracurricular activities. By leveraging the resources of the broader district, Cherokee Elementary aims to prepare its students for a successful transition into middle and high school, while maintaining the values and traditions of a smaller, rural school setting.
