Jordan Hill Road Elementary School

Summary:

Jordan Hill Road Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 356 students in grades PK-5 in Griffin, Georgia, which is part of the Griffin-Spalding County School District. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jordan Hill Road Elementary struggles with low test scores, with only 25% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 13% of 5th graders proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 38.4% and 41% respectively. The school also has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 66.67% to 98.31% over the past 3 years, indicating a high-poverty student population. When compared to other schools in the district, such as Futral Road Elementary and Crescent Road Elementary, Jordan Hill Road Elementary consistently underperforms on test scores and has higher rates of poverty.

Despite the low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student, Jordan Hill Road Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the past 10 years, suggesting that the school may be facing significant challenges in terms of student readiness, access to resources, and overall community support. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive strategy involving the school, district, and community stakeholders to support student learning and address the underlying socioeconomic factors impacting academic achievement.

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.
