LAFOLLETTE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

LaFollette Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Milwaukee School District school district, located in Milwaukee, WI with about 265 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 13 teachers, LaFollette Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

LaFollette Elementary School, located in the North 9th Street neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a public school operating under the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) district. Situated in a central urban area, the school serves a diverse student body and is dedicated to providing foundational education to elementary-aged children within the local community. As part of the broader MPS system, the school follows district-wide curriculum standards designed to support student achievement in core subjects like reading, mathematics, and science.

The school functions as a community hub, focusing on fostering an environment that encourages both academic growth and social-emotional development. Through its affiliation with the Milwaukee Public Schools website, LaFollette provides resources for families, including information on enrollment, school calendars, and district policies. By balancing traditional classroom instruction with the specific needs of its urban neighborhood, LaFollette Elementary aims to prepare its students for successful transitions to middle school and beyond.
