Lee Elementary School

Q: Is Lee Elementary School a good school?

Lee Elementary School ranks 730 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lee Elementary School is a public elementary school located in College Park, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 481 students. The school is part of the Fulton County School District, which is ranked 57th out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the state average, Lee Elementary has consistently underperformed academically compared to the Fulton County and Georgia state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.3% of 3rd graders, 30% of 4th graders, and 35.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.3% and 38.4% for Fulton County and Georgia, respectively. Additionally, Lee Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.5, compared to nearby schools like Heritage Elementary (12.0) and Liberty Point Elementary (13.0).

The school's challenges are further compounded by its high poverty rates, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate for the past three school years. While the higher spending per student may indicate additional resources, these have not translated into improved academic outcomes. Compared to nearby schools in the Fulton County School District, such as Stonewall Tell Elementary, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in the 2023-2024 school year, Lee Elementary continues to struggle, with its ranking among Georgia elementary schools declining from 445 in 2020-2021 to 730 in 2023-2024.

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.
