THERON JONES EARLY LITERACY CENTER

THERON JONES EARLY LITERACY CENTER is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the TEXARKANA ISD school district, located in TEXARKANA, TX with about 401 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 2nd 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 33 teachers, THERON JONES EARLY LITERACY CENTER 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.

The THERON JONES EARLY LITERACY CENTER, located in Texarkana, Texas, serves as a specialized educational facility within the Texarkana Independent School District. Dedicated to the foundational years of development, the school focuses exclusively on early childhood education, specifically targeting Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students. By concentrating resources and curriculum on this critical stage of growth, the center aims to establish a strong academic and social-emotional baseline for its students before they transition to elementary school.

The center emphasizes the importance of literacy as the cornerstone of future learning, utilizing age-appropriate instruction to build essential reading, language, and foundational skills. As part of the broader TISD system, the school is committed to fostering a supportive, student-centered environment that encourages curiosity and prepares children for long-term academic success.
