Taylor County Elementary

Summary:

Taylor County Elementary is a public elementary school located in Butler, Georgia, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 254 students. The school is part of the Taylor County School District, which is ranked 147 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Taylor County Elementary has consistently underperformed the state average in the Milestones Assessment across all grade levels and subject areas over the past few years. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics were significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance in science for 5th grade was also below the state average. Additionally, Taylor County Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools and has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio at the school indicate that there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community partnerships to help improve academic outcomes for the students at Taylor County Elementary. Collaboration with the nearby Hunt Elementary in Peach County and Crawford County Elementary in Crawford County, which also serve predominantly low-income student populations, could be beneficial in sharing best practices and resources to address the common challenges faced by these schools.

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.
