City View Elementary School

Summary:

City View Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mableton, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 883 students. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,078 to $11,737 over the past few years, City View Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Cobb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.2% of 3rd graders, 17.6% of 4th graders, and 30.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.2%, 46%, and 57.9% for Cobb County, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 1040 out of 1248 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at City View Elementary School, ranging from 83.81% to 90.83% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. When comparing City View Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Cobb County district, such as Mableton Elementary, Clay-Harmony Leland Elementary, and Bryant Elementary, City View consistently underperforms on academic measures. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, City View Elementary School has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or statewide ranking over the past several years, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the school's challenges 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.
