Summary

Hamilton Crossing Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cartersville, Georgia, serving 632 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bartow County School District, which is ranked 74 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Hamilton Crossing Elementary has consistently lower test scores compared to the Bartow County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 28.1%, compared to the Bartow County average of 31% and the Georgia average of 34.9%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 795 out of 1209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 478 out of 1238 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state.

When comparing Hamilton Crossing Elementary to other nearby schools in the Bartow County district, it consistently underperforms. For instance, Pine Log Elementary, which is only 9.7 miles away, outperforms Hamilton Crossing in both test scores and statewide rankings. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Hamilton Crossing Elementary, reaching 65.51% in the 2023-2024 school year, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive review of the school's practices, resource allocation, and strategies to support student success.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, July 14, 2014

I would just like to say that my daughter loved having Mrs. Bell as her kindergarten teacher and she said she would miss being in her class very much. As a parent I would like to say Mrs. Bell was so easy to talk to and she was so good at helping us with our daughter. She always worked with us to find solutions to issues and we could not have asked for a better kindergarten teacher than her. Close Quote
