Hutto Elementary School

Summary:

Hutto Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bainbridge, Georgia, serving 792 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Decatur County School District, which is ranked 154 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Hutto Elementary School's performance is generally below the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 34.8% in Mathematics and 40.3% in Science, compared to the state averages of 41% and 41.7%, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% for the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, Hutto Elementary School's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are relatively low compared to the state average, which could be leveraged to provide more individualized attention and support for students.

When compared to nearby schools, Hutto Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other schools in the Decatur County district, such as West Bainbridge Primary School and Jones-Wheat Primary School. However, when compared to Whigham Elementary School in the Grady County district, Hutto's performance is significantly lower, particularly in Mathematics and Science. This suggests that Hutto Elementary School has room for improvement, and the school and district could focus on enhancing instructional practices and support for students in these subject areas.

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.
