Summary:
The Gainesville City school district in Georgia is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of academic performance across these schools, with some standout performers and others facing significant challenges.
The Enota Multiple Intelligences Academy consistently outperforms the district and state averages on the Milestones Assessments, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Fair Street International Academy stands out as the lowest-performing school in the district, with test scores lagging behind the state. Other schools, such as Mundy Mill Arts Academy, demonstrate pockets of success, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics.
The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage across the district, with free and reduced-price lunch recipients ranging from 56.95% at Enota Multiple Intelligences Academy to 90.78% at Fair Street International Academy. This suggests that addressing the impacts of poverty on student achievement may be a key challenge for the district. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending, from $9,252 at New Holland Knowledge Academy to $11,621 at Fair Street International Academy, highlights the need to examine how resources are being allocated to support the schools with the greatest needs.
