Hawthorne Elementary School

Summary:

Hawthorne Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hampton, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 821 students. The school is part of the Clayton County School District, which is ranked 168 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hawthorne Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 826 and 1,229 over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that time period. The school's academic performance is significantly below the Clayton County and Georgia state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.3% to 33% in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, Hawthorne Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.38% to 92.99% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Hawthorne Elementary to the nearby schools in the Clayton County district, it is clear that Hawthorne is one of the lower-performing schools. The nearby schools, such as Kay R Pace Elementary School of the Arts, Arnold Elementary School, and River's Edge Elementary School, consistently outperform Hawthorne on academic measures and have higher SchoolDigger rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Hawthorne Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing these issues could be a priority for the district and school leadership.

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.
