New Beginning Learning Center

Summary:

New Beginning Learning Center is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Bainbridge, Georgia, which is part of the Decatur County School District. This school has consistently ranked near the bottom of Georgia high schools, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Beginning Learning Center faces significant challenges, including extremely low test scores across all subject areas and grade levels, with 0% proficiency rates in several subjects. The school also struggles with persistently low graduation rates, ranging from just 30% to 71.2% in recent years. These academic struggles are likely exacerbated by the school's high poverty levels, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a very high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 42.3 to 83 students per teacher. Additionally, the school spends relatively little per student, with spending ranging from $5,517 to $6,751 per student in recent years.

In contrast, the nearby Bainbridge High School, also in the Decatur County School District, performs significantly better, with higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall SchoolDigger rankings. This suggests that the issues at New Beginning Learning Center are not necessarily systemic to the entire district, and there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help raise student achievement at this struggling school.

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.
