Apple Tree Elementary Public School is located in the eastern part of Georgia. It is the only elementary school in the county. It has a population of 451 students. The school administration consists of a principal, an assistant principal, guidance counselor, and an academic coach. The teaching staff consists of 24 classroom teachers, 1 special education teacher, 3 inclusion teachers, and 1 librarian. ATES serves Pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students. The school has been operating since 1986. The population of economically underprivileged students in the school receiving free lunch priced meals is 100%. The disaggregated data, subgroup of special needs students is N=63. In spite of disaggregated data, the students obtaining their education at Apple Tree Elementary School feel safe to pursue their interest as a legitimate member of the school.
Demographic and Background Information
The population of the county is 73% African- American. The population of African-American students accounts for 97.85 % of the student body. 1.43% of the student body is Asian. 0.86% of the student body is multiracial, and the remaining student population 0.86 % is Caucasian. The student population does not consist of any other races. ATES serves 42% females and 58% males students.
For the last three years, Apple Tree Elementary School has faced several dilemmas. Due to the economy, parents of ATES students had to relocate to find work or move to other areas due to the request of their employers. As a result, the student population has decreased. The abovementioned challenge is difficult to address, but ATES has taken this challenge
