Summary:

Boynton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ringgold, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 602 students. The school is part of the Catoosa County School District, which is ranked 66 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boynton Elementary consistently outperforms the Catoosa County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Boynton's 5th-grade students scored 60.6% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45.5% for Catoosa County and 48.2% for the state. The school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 30% of Georgia elementary schools in recent years, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 13.5 to 14.2 students per teacher. Additionally, Boynton Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.56% in 2022-2023) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Saddle Ridge Elementary and Middle School and Cherokee Ridge Elementary, which have rates ranging from 33.84% to 73.84%.

While Boynton Elementary outperforms the Catoosa County and Georgia averages, some of the nearby schools, such as Graysville Elementary School and Battlefield Elementary School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status contribute to their success. However, Boynton Elementary's statewide ranking has declined slightly over the past few years, dropping from a high of 154 in 2013-2014 to 396 in the current school year, which warrants further investigation to identify any potential underlying issues or areas for improvement.

Open Quote My son is only in Pre-K but even the older students are friendly and welcoming to him. His teachers are wonderful and the principal and staff are as well. As another reviewer said, you walk in the doors and feel welcome and can tell that your child is loved & nurtured! Close Quote

Open Quote The teachers absolutely are incredible. When you walk in the doors you feel welcome & know that your children are loved and parents are encouraged to be involved. The principal shows the same kind of love & respect to the children that the teachers do-it's certain the tone of the school starts at the top & goes all the way down to the bottom of the ladder!

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.
