Stevens Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Stevens Creek Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Martinez, Georgia, serving 839 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Columbia County School District, which is ranked 16th out of 203 districts in the state.

Stevens Creek Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Georgia, with students significantly outperforming the state and county averages on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had an 83.8% proficiency rate in 5th grade English Language Arts, compared to 67.8% for the county and 48.2% for the state. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 10.85% to 16.33% in recent years, significantly lower than nearby schools like Martinez Elementary (48.8%) and South Columbia Elementary (over 60%). Additionally, Stevens Creek Elementary maintains a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.5 to 16.8 in recent years, and its per-student spending has been consistently higher than the state average.

While Stevens Creek Elementary outperforms the nearby schools in the Columbia County district, the performance of these other schools is still generally above the state averages, indicating a strong educational system in the area. However, the significant differences in performance and socioeconomic factors between Stevens Creek Elementary and some of the nearby schools in the Richmond County district, such as Garrett Elementary and Merry Elementary, suggest potential equity issues that may need to be addressed at a broader, district or state level.

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.
