Frank Long Elementary School

Summary:

Frank Long Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hinesville, Georgia, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 728 students. The school is part of the Liberty County School District, which is ranked 132 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frank Long Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, as its test scores are consistently lower than the state and county averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 35%, compared to the state average of 38.4% and the Liberty County average of 32%. Similarly, the school's 5th grade Math proficiency rate was only 22.3%, compared to the state average of 41% and the county average of 27.2%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.74% to 76.92% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Liberty Elementary (64.59%) and Joseph Martin Elementary (63.73%).

Despite the higher spending per student at Frank Long Elementary School compared to some nearby schools, the academic performance of the school remains relatively low. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. The data suggests that Frank Long Elementary School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic gaps, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as strategies to better support the needs of its high-poverty student population.

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.
