Screven Elementary School

Summary:

Screven Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 209 students in grades PK-5 in Screven, Georgia, which is part of the Wayne County School District. While the district is ranked 93 out of 203 in the state, Screven Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate, ranging from a high of 220 out of 1,214 Georgia elementary schools in 2020-2021 to a low of 720 out of 1,248 in the current 2023-2024 school year.

Screven Elementary's test scores on the Georgia Milestones Assessment are generally below the state and county averages, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36.7% of 3rd graders, 27.3% of 4th graders, and 31.3% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2% respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.68% to 75.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Despite spending more per student, ranging from $10,671 to $11,648, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11-11.3 students per teacher, Screven Elementary's academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with the higher resources.

When comparing Screven Elementary to the nearby schools in the Wayne County and Pierce County districts, the school consistently underperforms on test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. This suggests Screven Elementary may be facing unique challenges that are not being addressed effectively, and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students could be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles.

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.
