BALTIC ELEMENTARY - 02

Baltic Elementary - 02 is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Baltic School District 49-1 school district, located in Baltic, SD with about 265 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 17 teachers, Baltic Elementary - 02 has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

Baltic Elementary School, located at 1 Bulldog Ave in Baltic, South Dakota, serves as the primary educational foundation for the Baltic School District. As a community-focused institution, the school is committed to fostering a supportive learning environment that emphasizes academic growth, character development, and the personal success of each student. By prioritizing a "Bulldog pride" culture, the school aims to bridge the gap between rigorous curriculum standards and a welcoming, small-town atmosphere where students feel encouraged to explore their potential.

The school is an integral part of the larger Baltic School District, which leverages its website to maintain transparent communication with families regarding academic calendars, district policies, and extracurricular opportunities. With a focus on preparing children for future academic transitions, Baltic Elementary integrates traditional instruction with community involvement.
