Screven County Elementary School

Summary:

Screven County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sylvania, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,004 students. The school is part of the Screven County School District, which is ranked 76 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's efforts, Screven County Elementary School has consistently underperformed the state average in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across grades 3-5 over the past few years. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state averages in ELA and Mathematics. Compared to the nearby schools, such as S.G.A. Elementary School and Jenkins County Elementary School, Screven County Elementary School also underperformed in most subject areas and grade levels, with the exception of 5th-grade Science. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.19% to 80.68% in the past few years, suggests that the school may face significant socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's relatively higher student-teacher ratio compared to a nearby school, despite similar per-student spending, raises questions about the allocation of resources and the potential need for additional staffing or targeted support. However, the school's brief improvement to a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to build on its strengths and implement strategies to sustain and improve its performance over time.

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.
