Skyview Elementary School

Q: Is Skyview Elementary School a good school?

Skyview Elementary School ranks 429 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Skyview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lizella, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 455 students. Despite being part of the low-performing Bibb County School District, Skyview Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic assessments, maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Skyview Elementary's strong performance is evident in its test scores, which consistently exceed the Bibb County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Skyview's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 47.5% in ELA and 57.4% in Math, compared to 22.4% and 25.3% for Bibb County, and 38.4% and 45.4% for Georgia. Additionally, Skyview Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population, yet the school is able to provide a quality education with higher spending per student ($11,424 in 2018-2019) and a more favorable student-teacher ratio (13.3 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools.

Overall, Skyview Elementary School appears to be a model of success within a low-performing district, effectively serving a high-poverty student population and providing a quality education. The school's consistent academic performance, strong test scores, and favorable resource allocation suggest it is a shining example for other schools in the Bibb County district to emulate.

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.
