Greene County Primary School

Summary:

Greene County Primary School is an elementary school located in Union Point, Georgia, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 479 students. The school is part of the Greene County School District, which is ranked 79 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student over the years, Greene County Primary School has consistently underperformed compared to state and county averages on the Milestones Assessment. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.4% statewide and 35.5% in the county. The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.29% to 97.83% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the nearby Lake Oconee Charter School, which has a 24.89% free and reduced lunch rate.

The nearby Oglethorpe County Primary School and Oglethorpe County Elementary School have consistently outperformed Greene County Primary School on academic measures, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. This suggests that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and a more comprehensive approach to school improvement to address its academic challenges and better serve 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.
