Surry Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Surry County Public Schools school district, located in Dendron, VA with about 321 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 4th 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 28 teachers, Surry Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
