Hoboken Elementary School

Q: Is Hoboken Elementary School a good school?

Hoboken Elementary School ranks 196 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hoboken Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Hoboken, Georgia, with a student enrollment of 541. The school consistently ranks in the top 20% of Georgia elementary schools and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years.

Hoboken Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, with students consistently outperforming their peers in the Brantley County district and the state of Georgia on the Milestones Assessment. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 77.6% of 5th graders at Hoboken Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 60.2% in Brantley County and 48.2% statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 14.2 over the past three years, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. Additionally, Hoboken Elementary spends between $8,921 and $9,444 per student, which is higher than the state average and may provide the school with additional resources to support student learning.

While Hoboken Elementary outperforms the Brantley County district on most academic measures, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools in other districts, such as Patterson Elementary in Pierce County, also demonstrate exceptional academic performance. Despite having a high percentage of students (over 70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a common indicator of economic disadvantage, Hoboken Elementary's academic performance remains strong, suggesting that the school is effectively supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
