West End Elementary School

Q: Is West End Elementary School a good school?

West End Elementary School ranks 521 st of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

West End Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Rome, Georgia, part of the Rome City School District. Despite a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, West End Elementary stands out as a high-performing school within its district, consistently outperforming both the district and the state of Georgia in standardized test scores.

Key factors that differentiate West End Elementary include its strong academic performance, with over 40% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and nearly 60% proficient in math, significantly higher than district and state averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged population. Additionally, West End spends more per student and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic success.

When comparing West End Elementary to other schools in the Rome City and Floyd County districts, it becomes clear that West End is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, Main Elementary, just 4.52 miles away, has significantly lower test scores across the board. However, despite West End's strong performance within its district, its statewide ranking has been declining, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in keeping pace with the top-performing schools across Georgia.

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.
