Redan Elementary School

Summary:

Redan Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lithonia, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 521 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.

Redan Elementary School consistently performs below the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 15.7% of 3rd graders, 13% of 4th graders, and 31.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 31.6%, 30.5%, and 40.8% for DeKalb County, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 1138 out of 1248 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Redan Elementary School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year.

When comparing Redan Elementary School to other nearby schools in the DeKalb County district, it becomes clear that Redan is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. For example, Wynbrooke Elementary School, located about 3.25 miles away, significantly outperforms Redan in academic assessments, with 54.6% of 3rd graders, 46.5% of 4th graders, and 66.3% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024. The combination of low academic performance, high poverty rates, and relatively high per-student spending suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the struggles at Redan Elementary 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.
