Callaway Elementary School

Summary:

Callaway Elementary School is a public elementary school in LaGrange, Georgia, serving 651 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Troup County School District, which is ranked 103 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased funding, Callaway Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Troup County and Georgia state averages on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.5% of 3rd graders, 14.4% of 4th graders, and 36.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, far below the Troup County averages. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 790-966 out of 1,214-1,248 Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Long Cane Elementary and Rosemont Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings, Callaway Elementary faces unique challenges. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 64.51% to 71.89% over the past 3 years, which may be a significant factor contributing to the low academic performance. Addressing the underlying issues that impact student learning will be crucial for improving the school's performance.

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.
