Statesboro STEAM Academy

Summary:

Statesboro STEAM Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 5-12 in Statesboro, Georgia, with 191 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.4. The school is part of the State Specialty Schools II- Statesboro STEAM Academy district, which is ranked 135 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Statesboro STEAM Academy has consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.7% to 100% over the past 4 years, significantly higher than the nearby traditional public high schools like Metter High School (95.1%) and Portal Middle/High School (90.3%). However, the school's test scores on the Georgia Milestones assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages, with particularly low math scores. Statesboro STEAM Academy also serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 64.92% to 65.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years.

Despite its higher graduation rates, Statesboro STEAM Academy's statewide ranking has declined from 133 out of 384 high schools in 2009-2010 to 277 out of 458 high schools in 2023-2024, suggesting the school is struggling to keep pace with other high schools in the state. The school's performance on the Georgia Milestones assessments has also been inconsistent, with some subjects and grade levels showing improvement while others decline. While the school's higher per-student spending suggests it is investing resources to support its unique student population, the combination of these factors indicates the need for a more tailored approach to improving academic success at Statesboro STEAM Academy.

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.
