Allgood Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Paulding County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Poole Elementary School, Northside Elementary School, and other surrounding schools.

The relatively low spending per student at Allgood Elementary School, ranging from $8,503 in 2017-2018 to $9,184 in 2018-2019, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance. While the school's student-teacher ratio is comparable to nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind, suggesting that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be playing a significant role in the school's challenges. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community may be necessary to improve the school's performance and outcomes.

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.
