FORBES ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Forbes Road El Sch is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Forbes Road SD school district, located in Waterfall, PA with about 208 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 17 teachers, Forbes Road El Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Forbes Road Elementary School, located in Waterfall, Pennsylvania, serves as the primary educational facility for the Forbes Road School District. Situated in a rural setting in Fulton County, the school provides a small-town learning environment that emphasizes a close-knit community atmosphere. As a public institution, it focuses on delivering foundational K-6 education, aiming to prepare students for the academic and social challenges of middle school through a structured curriculum and individualized attention characteristic of smaller school districts.

The school is characterized by its commitment to student development within the context of the larger Forbes Road School District, which operates its junior-senior high school on the same campus. This shared location fosters a unique K-12 environment where students benefit from continuity in their education and a strong sense of school spirit. By focusing on fundamental skills in reading, mathematics, and social development, Forbes Road Elementary strives to create a supportive foundation for children living in the surrounding Waterfall and Fulton County communities.
