Futral Road Elementary School

Q: Is Futral Road Elementary School a good school?

Futral Road Elementary School ranks 722 nd of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Futral Road Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 590 students in grades PK-5 in Griffin, Georgia, which is part of the Griffin-Spalding County School District. While the district is ranked 178 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating, Futral Road Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 50% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 28.1% in the district and 48.2% statewide.

Futral Road Elementary has a higher statewide ranking compared to other schools in the district, ranking 722 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 352 in 2018-2019. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 52.51% to 98.47% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite this, Futral Road Elementary spends between $8,840 and $9,204 per student, which is lower than the spending at some of the nearby schools, such as Beaverbrook Elementary School and Cowan Road Elementary School.

While Futral Road Elementary outperforms the district and state on test scores, the school's declining performance and the overall low-performing nature of the Griffin-Spalding County School District suggest that the school faces unique challenges in maintaining high academic achievement. The high-poverty student population and the lower spending per student may be contributing factors to the school's declining performance over time.

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.
