W.G. Nunn Elementary

Summary:

W.G. Nunn Elementary is a public elementary school in Valdosta, Georgia, serving 901 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Valdosta City School District.

W.G. Nunn Elementary consistently performs below the Valdosta City and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17% of 3rd graders, 9.8% of 4th graders, and 36.8% of 5th graders at W.G. Nunn Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Valdosta City averages of 17%, 17.4%, and 29.9%, respectively, and the Georgia state averages of 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools and maintains a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Lowndes County School District, such as Clyattville Elementary, Hahira Elementary, and Westside Elementary, consistently outperform W.G. Nunn Elementary and the Valdosta City schools in academic assessments, with much higher proficiency rates and rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as broader systemic challenges within the Valdosta City School District, may be contributing to the poor performance at W.G. Nunn Elementary.

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.
