Long Mill Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (31.76%) and Hispanic (20.84%) students compared to nearby schools. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 412 out of 1,502 schools (4-star rating) and 755 out of 1,489 schools (2-star rating) in recent years. While the school has shown strengths in certain grade levels and subjects, such as 5th-grade science, it generally lags behind the state and district averages in many areas. Notably, Royal Elementary, another nearby school in the Franklin County Schools district, has a similar student racial makeup but lower performance on state assessments.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.84% to 60.91%, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Addressing these performance gaps and effectively utilizing the school's resources could be key focus areas for improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
