Summary

The John Hope-Charles Walter Hill Elementary Schools is a public elementary school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 409 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 139 out of 206 districts in the state.

The John Hope-Charles Walter Hill Elementary Schools has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools over the past decade, with its highest ranking being 736 out of 1209 schools in the 2017-2018 school year. In the most recent school year (2024-2025), the school ranked 1000 out of 1238 Georgia elementary schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 13.6% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.9% for the district and the state. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also notably lower than the surrounding schools, such as Atlanta Neighborhood Charter - Elementary and Springdale Park Elementary School.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student, the John Hope-Charles Walter Hill Elementary Schools faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to the low academic achievement. However, the school's underperformance compared to nearby schools serving similar student populations suggests that more effective strategies and interventions are needed to improve student outcomes.

This is a great school. There is a new Principal (Mrs. Wheeler) and she is turning this school around. She is doing an excellent job. The school had a 20 point increase in last years test scores. Highest increase in the state. Go meet her and see for yourself. We did - before we sent our kids there. Couldn't be more pleased with the teachers and administrators. Close Quote
