Flat Shoals Elementary School

Summary:

Flat Shoals Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Conyers, Georgia, with 578 students. The school is part of the Rockdale County School District, which is ranked 148 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Flat Shoals Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 825 out of 1,248 schools.

Flat Shoals Elementary consistently underperforms the Rockdale County and Georgia averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 38.4% statewide, and only 22% of 5th graders were proficient in Math compared to 41% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.83% to 69.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Despite spending more per student ($12,241 in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby schools, Flat Shoals does not seem to be achieving better academic outcomes.

When comparing Flat Shoals to the other elementary schools in the Rockdale County district, as well as some schools in the neighboring Newton County district, Flat Shoals consistently underperforms on test scores across all grade levels and subjects. The nearby schools, such as Hightower Trail, Pine Street, and Honey Creek, all have higher proficiency rates than Flat Shoals, despite serving similar demographics. Additionally, Flat Shoals' performance on the Milestones Assessments has declined over the past few years, suggesting the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its 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.
