Summary:

Langston Chapel Middle School is a public middle school located in Statesboro, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 761 students. The school is part of the Bulloch County School District, which is ranked 96 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Langston Chapel Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the Bulloch County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels.

Additionally, the school has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 435 out of 588 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.45% to 96.48% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Southeast Bulloch Middle School (42.56%) and William James Middle School (65.68%).

Despite the school's lower academic performance and socioeconomic challenges, Langston Chapel Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 16.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, the school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $8,163 to $8,690 per student over the past few years, raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. The stark contrast in academic performance between Langston Chapel Middle School and the nearby schools within the same district suggests that there may be opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices to help improve the performance of the lower-performing school.

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.
