HOLMES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Holmes Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Spokane School District school district, located in Spokane, WA with about 422 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 38 teachers, Holmes Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

As part of Spokane Public Schools, the institution is committed to providing a structured learning environment that focuses on core academic development, social-emotional growth, and the cultivation of essential life skills for students in their formative years.

Beyond the standard academic offerings, Holmes Elementary emphasizes the importance of community engagement and inclusivity. The school works closely with families and local partners to provide resources and programs that enhance the student experience, aiming to create a safe and welcoming space for children from diverse backgrounds.
