Summary:

Miles Elementary School is a public elementary school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 468 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 203 districts in the state.

Miles Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 19.4% of 3rd graders, 12.6% of 4th graders, and 18.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 36.2%, 34.5%, and 41.9% for the district, respectively. The school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Beecher Hills Elementary, Peyton Forest Elementary, and Harper-Archer Elementary, also struggle academically, with most of them ranking in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools. However, some schools, like West Manor Elementary and The Kindezi School, perform better, suggesting that factors beyond just the district and economic status may contribute to a school's academic success.

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.
