St. Marys Video and Communication Technology

Summary:

St. Marys Video and Communication Technology is an elementary school in Columbus, Georgia, serving 450 students in grades K-5. It is a public magnet school within the Muscogee County School District, which is ranked 155 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being a magnet school, St. Marys Video and Communication Technology consistently performs below the Muscogee County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 9.6% to 25.4%, compared to 26.4% to 37.3% for the county and 37% to 48.2% for the state. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were 5.1% to 18.3%, compared to 26.3% to 32.3% for the county and 41% to 48.1% for the state. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Georgia, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of schools statewide over the past several years.

When comparing St. Marys Video and Communication Technology to the nearby schools in the Muscogee County School District, such as South Columbus Elementary, Rigdon Road Elementary, and Wesley Heights Elementary, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance and overall school quality. The combination of low academic performance, high poverty rates, and relatively low spending per student suggests that St. Marys Video and Communication Technology may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

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.
