Glanton Elementary

Q: Is Glanton Elementary a good school?

Glanton Elementary ranks 846 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Glanton Elementary is a public elementary school located in Grantville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 264 students. The school is part of the Coweta County School District, which is ranked 44 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Glanton Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates in core subject areas compared to the county and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.9% of 3rd graders, 29% of 4th graders, and 42.5% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly lower than the county and state. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also concerning, with proficiency rates well below the county and state averages. Glanton Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a persistent struggle to improve academic achievement.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Glanton Elementary, ranging from 63.6% to 66.29% in recent years, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance. In contrast, the nearby Newnan Crossing Elementary, Poplar Road Elementary, Welch Elementary, and Western Elementary schools in the Coweta County district generally outperform Glanton Elementary and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Glanton Elementary.

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.
