Kilpatrick Elementary School

Summary:

Kilpatrick Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Jonesboro, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 618 students. The school is part of the Clayton County School District, which is ranked 168 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kilpatrick Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, ranking between 860 and 1084 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time.

Kilpatrick Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Clayton County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21% of 3rd graders, 13% of 4th graders, and 33.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2% at the state level, respectively. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.45% to 93.07% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

While Kilpatrick Elementary is consistently one of the lowest-performing schools in the district and state, some of the nearby schools, such as Haynie Elementary, Tara Elementary, and Lee Street Elementary, also perform poorly and have similar low rankings and 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the challenges facing Kilpatrick Elementary may be systemic issues within the Clayton County School District. However, one notable exception is Arnold Elementary School, which is located relatively close to Kilpatrick Elementary but has significantly higher academic performance, ranking in the top half of Georgia elementary schools and achieving 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

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.
