CURTIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Curtin Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Milwaukee School District school district, located in Milwaukee, WI with about 318 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th 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 9 teachers, Curtin Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 35:1. 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.

Curtin Elementary School, located in the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district on the city’s south side, serves a diverse student population with a focus on fostering both academic growth and community engagement. As part of the state’s largest school district, the school aligns its curriculum with Milwaukee Public Schools' standards, emphasizing foundational literacy, mathematics, and social-emotional development to prepare students for success in middle school and beyond.

The school operates within the broader framework of the MPS system, which prioritizes equitable access to education and support services for urban learners. By providing a structured environment, Curtin aims to cultivate a collaborative culture involving students, educators, and families. For those seeking detailed information regarding enrollment, school-specific programs, or academic calendars, the Milwaukee Public Schools website serves as the primary resource for keeping the school community informed and connected.
