Hillside Conant School

Summary:

Hillside Conant School is an alternative public school located in Atlanta, Georgia, serving grades 1-12 with a total enrollment of just 51 students. 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. Hillside Conant School has had a 0% four-year graduation rate for the past two school years, indicating significant challenges in supporting students to successfully complete their high school education.

Hillside Conant School significantly underperforms compared to the Atlanta Public Schools district and the state of Georgia across various Milestones Assessment subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade Math, Hillside Conant School had only 5.6% proficiency compared to 28.6% for Atlanta Public Schools and 43.7% for Georgia. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at over 94% in the past two school years, much higher than the nearby schools and the state average. The combination of low test scores, high poverty rates, and a very low student-teacher ratio at Hillside Conant School suggests that the school may require specialized instructional approaches and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population.

Overall, the data indicates that Hillside Conant School is facing significant challenges in supporting its students' academic and developmental needs. The school's low test scores, graduation rates, and high concentration of economically disadvantaged students suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's resources, instructional practices, and support services to improve student outcomes.

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.
