Profile interpretation
What the reported data says about Allen Elementary School
Allen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades KG–05 in Columbus. It is one of 52 current school records connected to Muscogee County. NCES reports 436 students for 2024–25.
Among 1,300 elementary schools in Georgia with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 580 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 23th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 14.1:1, close to the Georgia median of 13.4:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (35.6%) and White (29.6%). English learners represent 21.8% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 13%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
