ATALL ELEMENTARY - 17

Atall Elementary - 17 is a public elementary school that is part of the Meade School District 46-1 school district, located in Union Center, SD with about 14 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 3 teachers, Atall Elementary - 17 has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. 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.

Atall Elementary is a small, rural public school located in Union Center, South Dakota, serving as part of the Meade School District. Due to its remote location in the western part of the state, the school functions as a community hub for students living in the surrounding agricultural areas. It maintains a close-knit learning environment, focusing on foundational education tailored to the needs of a smaller student body.

As part of the broader Meade School District, the school utilizes the district’s resources and academic standards while providing a personalized, localized approach to instruction. Parents and community members can access ongoing updates, district-wide news, and school-specific information through the official Meade School District website at [http://www.meade.k12.sd.us](http://www.meade.k12.sd.us).
