DUQUESNE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Duquesne El Sch is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Duquesne City SD school district, located in Duquesne, PA with about 328 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 30 teachers, Duquesne El Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Duquesne Elementary School, located at 300 Kennedy Avenue in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, serves as the primary educational facility for the Duquesne City School District. The school is situated in a historically industrial area of Allegheny County and operates as a centerpiece for the local community's academic efforts. It is committed to providing a foundational education for students in the surrounding region, focusing on core curriculum standards and student development within a small-district environment.

The school’s mission is centered on fostering an inclusive learning atmosphere that prepares students for success in middle school and beyond. By emphasizing essential literacy and numeracy skills, the staff at Duquesne Elementary works to address the specific academic needs of its student population. Through its official district website (http://www.dukecitysd.org), the school maintains communication with families regarding district policies, academic calendars, and community resources, aiming to bridge the gap between the classroom and the local community.
