Summary:

Pleasant Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Stockbridge, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 479 students. The school is part of the Henry County School District, which is ranked 152 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pleasant Grove Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Pleasant Grove Elementary School Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 646 and 868 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, with a brief 3-star rating in 2014-2015 and a 4-star rating in 2013-2014. The school's academic performance consistently underperforms the Henry County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.9% to 36.8% across ELA, Math, and Science, compared to 26.3% to 48.2% for Henry County and 37% to 48.2% for the state.

However, several nearby schools, such as Timber Ridge Elementary and East Lake Elementary, have significantly outperformed Pleasant Grove Elementary School on the Milestones Assessments, with proficiency rates that are 10-20 percentage points higher. These schools also have lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a more advantaged student population. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has remained stagnant, raising concerns about equity and the school's ability to effectively serve its economically disadvantaged student population.

The principal and teachers expect and strive for excellence. They are completely dedicated to the children and ensuring that they learn the material and that they are able to communicate what was learned. I have also been impressed by watching the faculty and staff set the goal of becoming the first STEM certified elementary school in the county and reaching that goal. Close Quote

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.
