Glenn Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Glenn Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Augusta, Georgia, serving 393 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 176 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenn Hills Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Georgia, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the Richmond County and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8-13% of Glenn Hills students were proficient in ELA and Math, compared to 20.6-48.2% for the state. The school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.78% to 97.96% over the past 3 years, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. While the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors have not translated into improved student outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools in the Richmond County School District, such as Tobacco Road Elementary, Jamestown Elementary, and Meadowbrook Elementary, Glenn Hills Elementary is among the lowest-performing, with proficiency rates generally below the state averages. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Glenn Hills Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's persistent challenges in improving student achievement.

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.
