Continental Colony Elementary School

Summary:

Continental Colony Elementary School is a public elementary school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 371 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to some nearby schools, Continental Colony Elementary consistently underperforms academically. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 12.5% to 22.2%, significantly below the Atlanta Public Schools district average of 36.2% to 41.9%. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also well below the district and state averages. Additionally, Continental Colony Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools in the Fulton County district, such as College Park Elementary, Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary, and Brookview Elementary, which also serve economically disadvantaged areas, Continental Colony Elementary continues to underperform academically. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the potential need for targeted interventions or support to address the school's challenges.

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.
