Taliaferro County School

Summary:

Taliaferro County School is an alternative public school in Crawfordville, Georgia, serving 187 students in grades PK-12. This small, rural school faces unique challenges, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Despite these challenges, Taliaferro County School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.1 to 7.7 students per teacher in recent years. The school also spends a significant amount per student, with spending ranging from $25,110 to $28,312 per student in the past few school years. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state average across various subjects and grade levels.

The combination of high poverty levels, low academic performance, and high per-student spending at Taliaferro County School may suggest that the school is facing significant challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for its students. The school's alternative designation and the unique needs of its student population may require specialized resources and interventions to address these disparities. Continued monitoring and collaboration with the local Taliaferro County community and education stakeholders could help identify effective strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students of Taliaferro County School.

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.
