LAUREL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Laurel Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Johnson County school district, located in Laurel Bloomery, TN with about 65 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 4 teachers, Laurel Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Laurel Elementary School is a small, rural public school located in the secluded community of Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee. As part of the Johnson County School District, it serves as a central educational hub for students in the mountainous eastern tip of the state.

The school is dedicated to providing a foundational education that balances core academic standards with the values of its small-town setting. While the facility serves a limited student population, it strives to offer a supportive atmosphere that prioritizes personalized attention and early childhood development. By leveraging its role within the Johnson County system, Laurel Elementary works to ensure that its students receive the necessary tools to succeed as they transition into the broader district for middle and high school education.
