Summary

F. L. Stanton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 174 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 139 out of 206 districts in the state.

F. L. Stanton Elementary School consistently performs significantly below the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with only 3.8% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 34.9% and 44.3% respectively at the district and state levels. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Georgia, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of schools statewide. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 students per teacher and a high per-student spending of $21,056, the school's academic performance remains poor.

While some nearby schools, such as Beecher Hills Elementary School, perform significantly better than F. L. Stanton Elementary School, other schools in the same district, such as Tuskegee Airman Global Academy and Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy, also struggle with low academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by F. L. Stanton Elementary School may be systemic within the Atlanta Public Schools district.
