T.G. Scott Elementary School

Summary:

T.G. Scott Elementary School is a public elementary school in Forsyth, Georgia, serving 799 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Monroe County School District, which is ranked 24th out of 203 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

T.G. Scott Elementary School consistently outperforms the Monroe County and Georgia state averages in proficiency rates for the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 55.7%, compared to 48.9% for Monroe County and 38.4% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.2 to 15.8 over the past three years, and higher per-student spending compared to the state average.

While T.G. Scott Elementary School outperforms the nearby Katherine B. Sutton Elementary School and Samuel E. Hubbard Elementary School in academic performance, the differences are not as significant as one might expect. This suggests that the nearby schools are also performing well and may have effective educational practices in place. Additionally, the school's lower free and reduced-price lunch rates compared to the nearby schools indicate a relatively more affluent student population, which may contribute to its higher academic performance.

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.
