Dudley Primary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Tazewell County Public Schools school district, located in Bluefield, VA with about 256 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 12 teachers, Dudley Primary has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
