Summary:

West Point Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 425 students in grades PK-5 in West Point, Georgia, which is part of the Troup County school district.

While West Point Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.88% to 95.14% over the past 3 years, the school consistently underperforms compared to the Troup County and Georgia state averages on standardized tests. In 2023-2024, only 20.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.3% in Troup County and 38.4% statewide. Additionally, West Point Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing between 605-914 out of 1,200-1,250 Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has consistently received a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Interestingly, the nearby Hillcrest Elementary, Hollis Hand Elementary, and Rosemont Elementary schools in the Troup County district significantly outperform West Point Elementary on test scores and statewide rankings, with much lower free/reduced lunch rates and higher spending per student. While West Point Elementary faces challenges, the data suggests there is room for improvement through targeted interventions and collaboration with higher-performing schools.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
