Jefferson Parkway Elementary School

Summary:

Jefferson Parkway Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 465 students in grades PK-5 in Newnan, Georgia, which is part of the Coweta County School District. While the district is ranked 44 out of 203 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Jefferson Parkway Elementary consistently underperforms on state assessments, with only 22.9% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to 49% in the district and 38.4% statewide.

The school faces significant challenges, with very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 66.27% to 82.15% over the past few years. Despite spending more per student than the state average, ranging from $10,567 to $11,803, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 12.6, Jefferson Parkway's academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Thomas Crossroads Elementary, Poplar Road Elementary, and Northside Elementary, which significantly outperform it on test scores.

Interestingly, Odyssey Charter School, located just 1.4 miles from Jefferson Parkway, also serves a high-needs population but outperforms the school, particularly in the upper grades. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be contributing to Jefferson Parkway's underperformance, and further investigation into the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and other factors may be needed to understand and address the root causes of its challenges.

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.
