SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY AND ARTS I

School of Technology and Arts I is a public charter elementary school that is part of the La Crosse School District school district, located in La Crosse, WI with about 130 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 9 teachers, School of Technology and Arts I has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

The School of Technology and Arts I (SOTA I) is a specialized choice school located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, operating under the umbrella of the School District of La Crosse. The school is defined by its integrated curriculum, which emphasizes a blend of core academic subjects with a heavy focus on the arts and hands-on technological literacy. By fostering a project-based learning environment, SOTA I aims to cultivate critical thinking and creativity, allowing students to explore their interests through diverse, multi-disciplinary units of study.

The school is well-regarded for its small-community feel and its commitment to developing "whole-child" success, ensuring that students are not only academically prepared but also socially and emotionally engaged. Because it is a choice school, it attracts families looking for an alternative to traditional instructional models, prioritizing collaboration between students, teachers, and parents. Through its partnership with the broader district, SOTA I provides a unique educational pathway that bridges the gap between traditional classroom instruction and real-world application.
