Park Street Elementary School

Summary:

Park Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marietta, Georgia, serving 470 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Marietta City School District, which is ranked 67 out of 203 districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Park Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance on the Milestones Assessment is significantly below the Marietta City and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24.1% of 3rd graders, 23.3% of 4th graders, and 32.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.8%, 47.2%, and 50.9% for Marietta City, respectively.

The school's high concentration of poverty, with 88.72% to 92.34% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges. This is significantly higher than nearby schools like Sawyer Road Elementary (77.36%), A.L. Burruss Elementary (48.92%), and Dunleith Elementary (86.12%), as well as the West Side Elementary, which has only 13.88% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to support the success of all students at Park Street Elementary School.

I really would like to bring some awareness to the fact that my son was bullied at Park Street Elementary and nothing was done. I literally had to take it upon myself to go approach the students. For about 3 weeks 4 kids 2boys/2girls would bully my 10 year old son in the 5th grade. They wouldn't do it in class but in lunch or at specials. One of this kids stole my phone number off his book bag and called me to impersonate the Principal and say that my child was in trouble, they call him the B word and when he tells they called him a snitch b. When he told them I was coming up to the school one of the kids said it would just be me them and their gun. I had spoken with the principal on several occasions and asked had they spoken with the other parents and he said yes. The day my son told me about the gun thing I went to the school the next day and completely lost it because the principal didn't seem to think this was important. They only gave the child ISS for calling me and I know because my son told me the child was at the school in the office the next day.

After I left the school that day I went to Marietta City School board and this was almost 2 weeks ago. I told them my story and I have yet to hear anything back from them. I also filed a report with Marietta Police Department but they told me it wasn't really much they could do. Come to find out one of the kids went to the same boys club my son goes to and told him mom I approached him. She asked for me at the boys club and we talked. The Principal NEVER called her about anything. These are the reasons that kids do things like this because they feel like they can get away with it. This school is HORRIBLE and people need to know about it. They even sent me a letter stating that my child was being bullied hoping I would stop there but if there are no actions behind the letter, its useless. Close Quote

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.
