Atha Road Elementary School

Q: Is Atha Road Elementary School a good school?

Atha Road Elementary School ranks 489 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Atha Road Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Monroe, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 840 students. The school is part of the Walton County School District, which is ranked 40 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Atha Road Elementary School faces some challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently lower proficiency rates compared to the Walton County and Georgia state averages in most subject areas and grade levels on the Milestones Assessment. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 39.8%, compared to 43.1% for Walton County and 38.4% for Georgia. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.69% to 54.67% over the past few years, which is higher than the district average.

Atha Road Elementary School's performance on the Milestones Assessment is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Walton County district, such as Sharon Elementary, Loganville Elementary, and Youth Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science, often exceeding the district and state averages. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be more influential in driving student outcomes at Atha Road Elementary School.

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.
