White Elementary School

Q: Is White Elementary School a good school?

White Elementary School ranks 487 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

White Elementary School is a public elementary school located in White, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 590 students. The school is part of the Bartow County School District, which is ranked 74 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

White Elementary School has shown a mixed performance on the Milestones Assessment, with the 5th-grade ELA and Math scores being above the Bartow County and Georgia averages, but the 3rd and 4th-grade scores and the 5th-grade Science scores being below the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 323 out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 641 out of 1,242 in 2022-2023. The school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 54.92% to 57.35% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby Emerson Elementary, Kingston Elementary, and Mission Road Elementary schools, but lower than Fairmount Elementary in the neighboring Gordon County district.

While White Elementary School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby Bartow County schools, it is notably better than the nearby Fairmount Elementary in the Gordon County district. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, and its student-teacher ratio is comparable to the nearby schools. However, the school's fluctuating statewide ranking suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in the 3rd and 4th-grade academic achievement and the 5th-grade Science scores.

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.
