Arbor Station Elementary School faces several challenges compared to nearby schools in the area. The school has consistently lower test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with its 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at 31%, compared to 31.6% for Douglas County and 38.4% for the state. Additionally, Arbor Station has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.16% to 66.19% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's spending per student, ranging from $8,166 to $8,654, is also lower than some of the nearby schools, such as North Douglas Elementary ($10,717) and Burnett Elementary ($11,123).

Arbor Station Elementary School's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the years, dropping from 402 out of 1,240 Georgia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 687 out of 1,248 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the relatively lower spending per student at Arbor Station Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance compared to its peers. Additionally, the higher student-teacher ratio of 14.8 to 15.3 could be a challenge in providing individualized attention and support to students.

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.
