Summary:

Norman Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 619 students in grades PK-5 in the Colquitt County School District in Norman Park, Georgia. Over the past several years, the school has been ranked between 551-884 out of around 1,200-1,250 Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Norman Park Elementary consistently underperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5, though it performs slightly better than the Colquitt County district average. The school's strongest academic performance is in 5th grade Mathematics, where it has exceeded the district average in recent years. However, nearby schools like Sunset Elementary and Wright Elementary significantly outperform Norman Park Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics across all grades.

Norman Park Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 97% in recent years, consistent with the other schools in the Colquitt County district. The school's per-student spending has increased modestly, and its student-teacher ratio has improved, but these metrics are generally in line with the other Colquitt County schools and lower than the nearby Tift County schools, suggesting potential resource inequities between the districts.

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.
