Summary:
The city of Lula, Georgia has only one public school serving grades PK-5 - Lula Elementary School. Located in the Hall County school district, which is ranked 120 out of 206 districts in the state, Lula Elementary has an enrollment of 390 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.8 to 1.
Lula Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently falling below the Hall County and Georgia state averages across grades 3-5. The school's highest proficiency rates are in 5th grade Mathematics (38.3%) and 3rd grade Mathematics (37.7%), but these are still lower than the district and state averages. The school's lowest proficiency rates are in 4th grade English Language Arts (18.5%) and 5th grade Science (28.3%). Additionally, over 71% of Lula Elementary's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population that may require additional support and resources.
The school's relatively low spending per student ($9,434 in the 2018-2019 school year) compared to the district and state averages may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles. While the school's student-teacher ratio suggests sufficient staffing, further analysis would be needed to determine if the school's resources are being allocated effectively to address the unique needs of its student population and improve overall academic performance.
