Liberty Point Elementary School

Summary:

Liberty Point Elementary School is a public elementary school in Union City, Georgia, serving 694 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Fulton County School District, which is ranked 57th out of 203 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Liberty Point Elementary School is underperforming compared to its peers. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the Fulton County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 27.8% in 3rd grade to 45.7% in 5th grade, compared to Fulton County's 50.3% to 59.6% and Georgia's 38.4% to 48.2%. Similarly, in Mathematics, Liberty Point's proficiency rates ranged from 35.4% to 45.5%, while Fulton County's were 50.5% to 60.9% and Georgia's were 41% to 48.1%. Additionally, Liberty Point Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 549 and 962 out of 1,200-1,250 schools over the past 10 years.

The high percentage of students receiving free and reduced lunch at Liberty Point Elementary School, which has been 100% for the past three school years, suggests that the school may be serving a disadvantaged population, which could contribute to the lower academic performance. However, the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $11,813 to $12,781 over the past three school years, indicates that the school is making efforts to address these challenges. By analyzing the factors contributing to the school's underperformance and implementing targeted interventions and support, Liberty Point Elementary School has the potential to raise its academic achievement and provide a better educational experience for its 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.
