Summary:

William G. Hasty- Senior Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Canton, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,064 students. The school is part of the Cherokee County School District, which is ranked 28th out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, William G. Hasty- Senior Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Cherokee County and Georgia state averages in Milestones Assessment test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the county and state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly lower than the district's overall 4-star rating. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.91% to 75.88% in recent years, much higher than the rates at the nearby Sixes Elementary, Macedonia Elementary, and Hickory Flat Elementary schools.

The analysis of William G. Hasty- Senior Elementary School highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's persistent academic underperformance, as well as the potential for improvement through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with other successful schools in the Cherokee County School District. Despite the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $11,709 to $12,395 in recent years, the consistently low performance on state assessments suggests that there may be underlying challenges in the school's educational approach or resources that need to be addressed.

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.
