SOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

South Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Prince George County Public Schools school district, located in Disputanta, VA with about 455 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 31 teachers, South Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

South Elementary School, located at 13400 Prince George Drive in Disputanta, Virginia, serves as a foundational educational institution within the Prince George County Public Schools district. Situated in a rural, community-focused setting, the school is dedicated to fostering an environment that prioritizes academic growth, social-emotional development, and the cultivation of fundamental skills for its elementary-aged students.
