Summary:

Nevils Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Statesboro, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 481 students. This school stands out as a high-performing institution within the Bulloch County School District, consistently outpacing its local and state counterparts in academic achievement.

Nevils Elementary consistently outperforms the Bulloch County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across grades 3-5. In the 2023-2024 school year, 65.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.1% in Bulloch County and 48.2% statewide. In Mathematics, 66.2% of 4th-grade students and 64.4% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better, significantly higher than the county and state averages. Nevils Elementary's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 65.8% was also much higher than the Bulloch County (36.6%) and Georgia (41.7%) averages. The school has consistently ranked in the top 25-30% of Georgia elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most recent years, and it outperforms the nearby Mattie Lively, Mill Creek, and Stilson Elementary Schools in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels.

Nevils Elementary's consistent performance and relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.4 to 14.5 over the past three school years, suggest that the school is providing a quality education to its students. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy given the socioeconomic challenges faced by some of the nearby schools in the region, such as Claxton Elementary and Langston Chapel Elementary, which have higher percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients and lower academic proficiency rates.

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.
