Summary:

Eton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Chatsworth, Georgia, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 543 students. The school is part of the Murray County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Eton Elementary School has seen a fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 204 to 814 out of around 1,200-1,250 Georgia elementary schools, and a corresponding 2-4 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eton Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and declining statewide rankings. The school's test scores on the Milestones Assessment are generally lower than the Murray County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 14.8% (3rd grade) to 46.4% (6th grade), compared to 30.6%-41.4% for Murray County and 37%-48.2% for the state. Eton Elementary School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.42% to 69.43% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Eton Elementary to other schools in the Murray County district, such as Coker Elementary, Spring Place Elementary, and Northwest Elementary, Eton generally performs worse on test scores, particularly in math and science. However, the free/reduced lunch rates and per-student spending are relatively similar across these schools. In contrast, the nearby Whitfield County schools, such as Pleasant Grove Elementary, Eastside Elementary, and Cedar Ridge Elementary, tend to outperform Eton Elementary on test scores, despite also serving a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
