Woodlawn Elementary School

Summary:

Woodlawn Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Chatsworth, Georgia, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 549 students. The school is part of the Murray County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Woodlawn Elementary School faces challenges in student achievement, particularly in comparison to nearby schools and the state average. The school's test scores on the Milestones Assessment are generally lower than the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 27.8% to 51.3% in various grade levels, compared to state averages of 38.4% to 48.2% in English Language Arts and 45.4% to 48.1% in Mathematics. Additionally, Woodlawn has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.43% to 63.75%, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When comparing Woodlawn Elementary School to the nearby schools in the same district, such as Spring Place Elementary, Coker Elementary, Northwest Elementary, and Chatsworth Elementary, it becomes evident that Woodlawn generally performs below the average of these schools in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. Furthermore, when expanding the comparison to schools in the neighboring Whitfield County School District, such as Pleasant Grove Elementary, Woodlawn's performance lags behind many of these higher-performing schools as well.

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.
