Additionally, the school has a very low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, at only 1.84% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the state and district averages, which are typically much higher.

When comparing Georgia Fugees Academy Charter School to nearby public schools, such as Paul Duke STEM High School, Dekalb Early College Academy, and Chamblee High School, it becomes clear that the charter school is underperforming significantly. These nearby public schools have much higher proficiency rates and overall academic performance, as well as higher graduation rates. The low academic performance and demographic factors of Georgia Fugees Academy Charter School suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

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.
