Pine Log Elementary

Q: Is Pine Log Elementary a good school?

Pine Log Elementary ranks 285 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Pine Log Elementary is a public elementary school located in Rydal, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 405 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.

Pine Log Elementary has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past several years, moving from a rank of 649 out of 1,233 Georgia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a rank of 285 out of 1,248 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school consistently outperforms the Bartow County and Georgia state averages in Milestones Assessment proficiency rates across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, Pine Log Elementary's 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was 67.9%, compared to 49.2% for Bartow County and 45.4% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 12.6 over the past three school years, and a higher per-student spending level than the nearby schools.

While Pine Log Elementary outperforms the nearby schools in Bartow County on most academic metrics, there are some exceptions. For instance, Cloverleaf Elementary had a higher 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate (67%) compared to Pine Log (67.9%) in 2023-2024. However, the nearby schools in the Bartow County district have similar student-teacher ratios and free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting that Pine Log Elementary's performance is not solely driven by these factors. Despite serving a population with a higher level of economic need, as indicated by its free and reduced-price lunch rates, Pine Log Elementary is able to overcome this challenge and deliver strong academic outcomes for 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.
