West Manor Elementary School ranks 783 rd of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

West Manor Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 248 students in grades K-5. 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.

West Manor Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with its performance on the Milestones Assessment significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.4% statewide and 36.2% in the Atlanta Public Schools district. The school's strongest performance is in 4th grade Mathematics, where 53.2% of students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 48.1% statewide and 39% in the district. West Manor Elementary School has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population, and its per-student spending has ranged from $16,558 to $18,258 over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools, West Manor Elementary School performs significantly worse than Beecher Hills Elementary School, which is also part of the Atlanta Public Schools district but has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and much higher academic performance. The Kindezi School, a public charter school located about 1.7 miles from West Manor, also outperforms West Manor across most subject areas and grade levels, despite serving a similar high-poverty student population. This suggests that the challenges faced by West Manor are not unique to the school but may be systemic within the Atlanta Public Schools district.

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.
