Summary:
The three elementary schools located in Jefferson County, Georgia, are struggling academically, with all three schools performing below the state average on the Georgia Milestones Assessment. Wrens Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates among the three, but still lags behind the state and county averages. Louisville Academy School and Carver Elementary School have even lower proficiency rates, with several grades scoring under 20% proficient or better.
All three schools serve a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students at each school receiving this benefit. The student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 10.6 to 11.6 students per teacher. However, the per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year varied, ranging from $9,906 at Wrens Elementary School to $12,823 at Carver Elementary School, which may suggest potential issues with resource allocation and equitable distribution of funding within the district.
The schools' rankings have remained relatively consistent over the past three school years, with no significant improvements or declines, indicating a lack of significant progress or improvement in their performance. The consistently low proficiency rates, high poverty levels, and stagnant rankings suggest that these schools may require additional support and resources to address the underlying challenges and improve student outcomes.
