The Hope Academy School

Summary:

The Hope Academy School is a public high school located in LaGrange, Georgia, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 77 students. It is part of the Troup County School District, which is ranked 103 out of 203 school districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Hope Academy School consistently underperforms compared to the Troup County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.7% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 29.8% and 31.7% for Troup County, respectively. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 3.5 to 7.7 over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the nearby high schools, such as Callaway High School and LaGrange High School, which have ratios around 18 students per teacher. The Hope Academy School also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.29% to 92.21% over the past three school years, much higher than the nearby high schools.

The consistently low academic performance, the potential relationship between the low student-teacher ratio and academic performance, and the high poverty rates at The Hope Academy School suggest that the school faces significant challenges in supporting student success. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs of the school's student population and the underlying factors contributing to the achievement gap. Collaboration with the Troup County district, community stakeholders, and educational experts may be necessary to develop and implement effective interventions to support the success of The Hope Academy School and its students.

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.
