LOWELL

Lowell is a public elementary school that is part of the Tacoma School District school district, located in Tacoma, WA with about 432 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 22 teachers, Lowell has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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 a part of the Tacoma Public Schools district, the school emphasizes a community-focused learning environment. Its location near the historic Proctor District allows it to integrate well with the surrounding neighborhood, fostering a strong sense of local engagement and support from nearby residents and families.

Academically, Lowell is known for its commitment to inclusive education and a well-rounded curriculum that prioritizes both core subjects and the social-emotional development of its students. The school actively promotes a culture of collaboration, often hosting events that encourage parental involvement and community participation. With a mission to prepare students for future success, Lowell works to provide a stable, supportive atmosphere where children are encouraged to build both academic competence and strong character.
