MERRILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Merrill Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Beloit School District school district, located in Beloit, WI with about 248 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 3rd 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 20 teachers, Merrill Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Merrill Elementary, located at 1635 Nelson Ave in Beloit, Wisconsin, serves as a foundational academic institution within the School District of Beloit. The school is committed to fostering a supportive learning environment that prioritizes the social, emotional, and intellectual development of its students. By focusing on fundamental literacy and numeracy skills, Merrill aims to prepare its diverse student body for success in their future academic endeavors while promoting a sense of community pride and engagement.

The school emphasizes a well-rounded educational experience by integrating standard curriculum requirements with initiatives designed to build strong character and resilience.
