Factory Shoals Elementary School

Summary:

Factory Shoals Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lithia Springs, Georgia, serving 605 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Douglas County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Factory Shoals Elementary School consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with only 27.8% of 3rd graders, 20% of 4th graders, and 38.6% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Douglas County averages of 31.6%, 30.4%, and 42.5%, respectively. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 73.31% to 84.63% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools in the Douglas County district, such as Annette Winn Elementary School and Beulah Elementary School, which have significantly higher test scores and lower free and reduced-price lunch rates, it becomes clear that Factory Shoals Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school may need to implement more targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
