Mimosa Elementary School

Summary:

Mimosa Elementary School is a public elementary school in Roswell, Georgia, serving 636 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Fulton County School District. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores, ranking in the bottom quarter of Mimosa Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.39% to 89.16%, significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Despite having higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Hillside Elementary School, Amana Academy School, and Sweet Apple Elementary School.

The stark contrast in academic performance between Mimosa Elementary School and the surrounding schools suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's challenges. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population. However, the higher spending and smaller class sizes at Mimosa Elementary School do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the school.

Overall, Mimosa Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, ranking, and socioeconomic factors compared to the nearby schools in the Roswell, Georgia area. The school's higher spending and smaller class sizes do not seem to be driving improved student outcomes, indicating the need for a deeper analysis of the school's practices and resource allocation to identify areas for improvement.

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.
