MAURINE ELEMENTARY - 04

Maurine Elementary - 04 is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Faith School District 46-2 school district, located in Faith, SD with about 15 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th 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 2 teachers, Maurine Elementary - 04 has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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.

Maurine Elementary, located at 17291 US Hwy 212 in Faith, South Dakota, serves as a vital educational component of the Faith School District. Situated in a rural, prairie landscape, the school reflects the close-knit and community-focused atmosphere typical of Western South Dakota. As part of a consolidated district, it plays a key role in providing foundational education to students in the surrounding ranching and agricultural region, emphasizing personalized attention and a strong connection to the local community.

The school operates under the umbrella of the Faith School District, which is committed to preparing students for both academic success and future life challenges through a supportive learning environment. Because it is located in a sparsely populated area, the school functions as a central hub for families in Faith and the outlying vicinity.
