PERSELL MIDDLE SCHOOL

PERSELL MIDDLE SCHOOL is a Title I public middle school that is part of the JAMESTOWN CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in JAMESTOWN, NY with about 459 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade 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 41 teachers, PERSELL MIDDLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

PERSELL MIDDLE SCHOOL, located at 375 Baker Street in Jamestown, New York, serves as a key educational institution within the Jamestown Public Schools district.

By offering a comprehensive curriculum, Persell aims to provide a well-rounded education that balances core academic subjects—such as English, mathematics, science, and social studies—with opportunities for personal growth and social-emotional development.

Beyond the classroom, the school emphasizes community engagement and student involvement, encouraging participation in various extracurricular activities, clubs, and sports. The school’s digital presence through the Jamestown Public Schools website serves as a resource for parents, students, and the local community to stay informed about academic calendars, school policies, and district-wide initiatives.
