Summary:

Bay Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Loganville, Georgia, serving 715 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Walton County School District.

Bay Creek Elementary has shown mixed performance on the Milestones Assessment compared to the Walton County and Georgia averages. While the school's 5th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics scores are above the county and state averages, its 3rd and 4th-grade scores are generally lower, suggesting the school may be more effective in supporting older elementary students. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.45% to 63.08%, significantly higher than nearby Sharon Elementary (37.93%) and Loganville Elementary (38.43%), indicating it serves a more economically disadvantaged student population.

When compared to other Walton County elementary schools, Bay Creek Elementary has generally lower test scores, particularly in the lower grades, but its 5th-grade performance is stronger. Compared to the Gwinnett County elementary schools in the area, Bay Creek generally underperforms, especially in the higher-performing Gwinnett schools like Grayson Elementary, Starling Elementary, and Trip Elementary. This suggests Bay Creek Elementary may have room for improvement in academic achievement compared to its peers in the region.

This was the BEST school ever. I went there from 3rd-5th. They had the best teachers, students, and surprisingly the best school lunches. Close Quote

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.
