While Lewis Elementary School has shown mixed performance on the Milestones Assessment compared to the Cobb County and Georgia averages, it has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.91% to 44.63% over the past few years, which is higher than some nearby schools like Pickett's Mill Elementary (18.08%) and Due West Elementary (12.26%), but lower than others like Hayes Elementary (51.37%) and Acworth Intermediate (61.54%). Additionally, Lewis Elementary School has seen a decreasing student-teacher ratio over the past few years, from 12.7 in 2020-2021 to 9.2 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the ratios of several nearby schools.

The area surrounding Lewis Elementary School is home to several other high-performing elementary schools, such as Pickett's Mill Elementary, Due West Elementary, and Frey Elementary, suggesting that families in the area have access to a variety of quality educational options. However, the relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rates at Lewis Elementary, compared to some of the nearby schools, may indicate potential equity issues that could be worth further investigation.

Lewis is an excellent school with caring parents, teachers and students. They are a family and keep student achievement (both academically and socially) as their focus. Close Quote

This is a fantastic school! I think the rating on this site is totally biased. My son is special needs and goes here. I refuse to move because I love this school so much. The staff is supremely dedicated! I have been nothing but impressed. It is clean, multicultural, focused, respectful and provides a nurturing environment for children to learn. Nothing but impressed!

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.
