Myers Elementary School consistently performs below the Hall County and Georgia state averages in Milestones Assessment scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 20% (3rd grade) to 29.6% (5th grade), compared to the Hall County averages of 29% to 35% and the Georgia state averages of 38.4% to 48.2%. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, consistently ranking between 785 and 1231 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

For example, Chestnut Mountain Elementary, which is only about 5 miles away, has significantly higher Milestones Assessment scores, a higher school ranking, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's persistent low performance, the relatively high per-student spending suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and resources.

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.
