Pinevale Elementary School

Summary:

Pinevale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Valdosta, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 582 students. The school is part of the Valdosta City School District, which is ranked 179 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Pinevale Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 1030 and 1179 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools over the past several years.

Pinevale Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Valdosta City and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.6% of 3rd graders, 13% of 4th graders, and 31.7% of 5th graders at Pinevale were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 17-29.9% for Valdosta City and 37-48.2% for the state. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.75% to 94.63% over the past few years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the Valdosta City district.

While Pinevale Elementary has the highest per-student spending among the schools analyzed, ranging from $8,894 to $10,307 per student, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The other Valdosta City elementary schools also perform significantly below the state averages, but generally outperform Pinevale. In contrast, the elementary schools in the neighboring Lowndes County school district, which has a higher overall ranking than Valdosta City, significantly outperform Pinevale Elementary on the Milestones Assessments. Pinevale's performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, suggesting a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the underlying issues and provide targeted support to students and teachers.

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.
