Winterville Elementary School

Q: Is Winterville Elementary School a good school?

Winterville Elementary School ranks 807 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Winterville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 365 students in grades PK-5 in Winterville, Georgia, which is part of the Clarke County School District. Despite higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, Winterville Elementary has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past 10 years.

Winterville Elementary's test scores lag significantly behind the state averages, with only 31.1% of 3rd graders, 23.5% of 4th graders, and 34.6% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2% at the state level. The school also has very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 81.72% to 83.01% over the past 3 years, indicating a high-poverty student population. Interestingly, the nearby Barrow Elementary and Johnnie Lay Burks Elementary schools, which serve similar high-poverty student populations, significantly outperform Winterville Elementary on test scores.

Despite spending more per student ($13,170 to $15,060) than the nearby schools in the Clarke County district ($12,813 to $14,084), Winterville Elementary's academic performance has not improved. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 9.5 has not translated to better outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics and resource allocation, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's consistent underperformance.

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.
