Open Quote I had graduated from Morningside Elementary and it was excellent! The teachers always were able to have the students attention and were able to comprehend. Morningside had many mixers and events for parents and students. Including- poetry performance team * grade 3-5*, band and jazz band *band 3-5, jazz band 4-5*, orchestra and advanced orchestra *same as band and jazz band*, wonderful talent shows, Atlanta Opera, and many more! This amazing school is the best elementary school in the whole state, plus the best CRCT scores in the state! Close Quote

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.
