Summary:

Crisp County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cordele, Georgia, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 480 students. The school is part of the Crisp County School District, which is ranked 192 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Crisp County Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Crisp County Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were all below 30%, with the 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate as low as 12.1%. These scores are substantially lower than the state averages, which range from 37% to 48.2% for the same grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.96% to 100% over the past few years, indicating that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

When compared to the nearby Turner County Elementary School and Dooly County Elementary School, Crisp County Elementary School performs significantly worse in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school's spending per student has been relatively low, ranging from $8,391 to $8,944 per student over the past few years, which is lower than the spending per student at some of the nearby schools. These factors suggest that the school's challenges are not unique to the local area but are more systemic in nature and may be exacerbated by resource allocation concerns.

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.
