The school is part of the Gadsden School District, which is ranked 66th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chattahoochee Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 83.46% African American (much higher than the state average of 18.1%) and an extremely high percentage (over 90%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.8% to 48.2% over the past 5 years, which is much higher than the state average. Academically, Chattahoochee Elementary's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 13% of 5th graders proficient in science compared to the state average of 53%.

Despite the high spending per student ($19,312) at Chattahoochee Elementary, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that the additional resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. In comparison, nearby schools like Gadsden Elementary Magnet School and Sneads Elementary School have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, indicating that Chattahoochee Elementary is an outlier in the region.

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.
