Summary:
The Dubois Integrity Academy, the sole elementary school in the State Specialty Schools I- Dubois Integrity Academy district in Georgia, is consistently underperforming academically compared to state averages. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, placing it in the bottom quarter of elementary schools in Georgia.
Dubois Integrity Academy's performance on the Milestones Assessment, a standardized test in Georgia, is significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18.1% to 46.3% in ELA and 7.7% to 21.3% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37% to 48.2% in ELA and 34.7% to 45.4% in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 96.36% in 2022-2023.
Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending of $9,995 for the 2018-2019 school year is not exceptionally high, raising questions about whether the school is allocating resources effectively to support student learning and academic growth. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.3 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year also suggests that there may be opportunities to improve the learning environment and provide more individualized attention to students.
