Calhoun County Elementary School

Summary:

Calhoun County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edison, Georgia, serving 206 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Calhoun County School District, which is ranked 198 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, Calhoun County Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, with significantly below-average performance on the Milestones Assessment across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 3.8% to 21.2%, compared to the state average of 37% to 48.2%. The school's performance in mathematics and science was also very low, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

The school's challenges are compounded by the fact that 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty community. While nearby schools like Clay County Elementary and Early County Elementary also serve high-poverty areas, Calhoun County Elementary School consistently ranks lower than its peers, suggesting unique challenges that may require a more comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
