Summary

Barton Chapel Elementary School is a public elementary school in Augusta, Georgia, serving 406 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 177 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Barton Chapel Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Georgia, with a statewide ranking between 1089 and 1247 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools over the past 10 years. The school significantly underperforms compared to the Meadowbrook Elementary, Wheeless Road Elementary, and Lake Forest Hills Elementary schools in the district, which have higher academic proficiency rates and overall performance.

Barton Chapel Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.95% to 100% over the past few years. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school spends slightly less per student than nearby schools, and has a higher student-teacher ratio. These factors, combined with the persistently low academic performance, suggest that Barton Chapel Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique needs of its students and improve educational outcomes.
