Rockbridge Elementary School

Summary:

Rockbridge Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Stone Mountain, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 894 students. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 138 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rockbridge Elementary School consistently performs below the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in 5th grade English Language Arts was 29.9% at Rockbridge, compared to 40.8% in DeKalb County and 48.2% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for the past 10 years, with a ranking between 887 and 1,165 out of approximately 1,250 schools. Rockbridge Elementary School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99% to 100% over the past 3 school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Rockbridge Elementary School, ranging from $12,031 to $12,222 over the past 3 school years, the school's academic performance remains low. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and that other factors, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and resource allocation, may need to be addressed. When comparing Rockbridge Elementary School to the nearby DeKalb Agriculture Technology and Environment School, a public charter school, it becomes clear that Rockbridge is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area, as the charter school significantly outperforms Rockbridge across all grade levels and 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.
