Burroughs-Molette Elementary School

Summary:

Burroughs-Molette Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Brunswick, Georgia, with 593 students enrolled. The school is part of the Glynn County School District, which is ranked 58 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's relatively strong performance, Burroughs-Molette Elementary consistently underperforms the Glynn County and Georgia averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 10.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 36.5% and 45.6% for the county, respectively. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.78% to 98.07% over the past few years, significantly higher than the other schools in the area.

Despite spending more per student ($11,237 to $12,117) compared to the other nearby schools ($9,697 to $10,977), Burroughs-Molette's academic performance has not improved. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. This underperformance is particularly notable given that the school is surrounded by several higher-performing elementary schools, such as Oglethorpe Point Elementary and Greer Elementary, within the same Glynn County School District.

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.
