Despite the district's overall performance, College Park Elementary consistently performs significantly below the Fulton County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10.8% of 3rd graders, 14.1% of 4th graders, and 20.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 50.3%, 51.5%, and 59.6% for Fulton County, respectively. The school's performance is among the lowest in the state, ranking in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools. Additionally, College Park Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which is significantly higher than the Fulton County and Georgia state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary, Hapeville Elementary School, and Main Street Charter Academy, College Park Elementary generally performs worse on the Milestones Assessments, with lower proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science. This suggests that the challenges faced by College Park Elementary may be unique or more pronounced compared to its peers. The data indicates that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic needs of its students, such as increased funding, professional development for teachers, and evidence-based instructional practices.

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.
