Open Quote My son and I really enjoy Robert J. Burch Elementary School. I was initially concerned about our rankings when compared to other Fayette County Schools. Then I realized three things: 1) the teachers are exceptional at Burch; 2) my son enjoys learning; and 3) Robert J. Burch has the largest population of students (more than any in the county and above average for the State of Georgia) who hold English as their second language. Even with this makeup, the test scores continue to hold steady, and the teachers and parents ensure that everyone does their best socially and excel academically. This makes for a future great, educated, responsible adult in America. 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.
