CORNELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Cornell El Sch is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Cornell SD school district, located in Coraopolis, PA with about 328 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 28 teachers, Cornell El Sch 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.

Cornell Elementary School, located at 1099 Maple Street Extension in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, serves as the primary educational facility for students in the Cornell School District.

By focusing on foundational skills and early childhood education, the school aims to prepare its students for the challenges of middle and high school while maintaining a close connection with the surrounding local families.

Beyond its core curriculum, Cornell Elementary prides itself on creating a tight-knit school culture that encourages parent and community involvement. The school utilizes its website, www.cornell.k12.pa.us, as a hub for communication, providing families with access to district policies, academic calendars, and resources to support student success.
