The school is part of the Bibb County School District, which is ranked 173 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hartley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hartley Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Bibb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 15.7% of 3rd graders, 4.6% of 4th graders, and 15.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Bibb County averages of 22.4%, 19.9%, and 29.8%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Hartley Elementary has had a 100% free and reduced lunch rate for the past three school years, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When comparing Hartley Elementary to the nearby schools in the Bibb County district, it becomes clear that Hartley is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, Hartley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for the past decade, with no significant improvement in its academic performance or SchoolDigger rating.

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.
