John Robert Lewis Elementary School

Summary:

John Robert Lewis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brookhaven, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 880. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 122 out of 193 school districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

John Robert Lewis Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on the Milestones Assessment across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.3% of 3rd graders, 16.4% of 4th graders, and 15.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also significantly lower than the state and county averages. This low academic performance is likely due to the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the student-teacher ratio at John Robert Lewis Elementary School is relatively low, suggesting adequate resources and staffing, the data indicates that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as instructional practices and school leadership, may need to be addressed to improve student outcomes. Interestingly, some nearby schools, like GLOBE Academy Charter School I and Ashford Park Elementary School, have significantly higher academic performance and lower rates of economic disadvantage, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the success of these schools.

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.
