F. L. Stanton Elementary School

Summary:

F. L. Stanton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Atlanta, Georgia, with 207 students enrolled. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

F. L. Stanton Elementary consistently performs significantly below the Atlanta Public Schools and Georgia state averages on standardized tests, with only 10.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and Math in 2023-2024, compared to 36.2% and 38% respectively for the district. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for the past 10 years and has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger every year. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than nearby schools, F. L. Stanton's academic outcomes remain extremely low.

Nearby schools like Beecher Hills Elementary and KIPP Strive Primary Charter School perform significantly better than F. L. Stanton on test scores, with proficiency rates 2-4 times higher. This suggests F. L. Stanton is an outlier in the area for poor academic performance, even though it serves a high-poverty student population like many of the other local schools. The consistent low rankings and ratings over many years indicate that F. L. Stanton Elementary has been a chronically underperforming school, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's leadership, teaching staff, and educational programs.

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.
