Summary

William G. Hasty- Senior Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 1,127 students in grades PK-5 in Canton, Georgia, which is part of the Cherokee County School District. However, the school appears to be underperforming compared to its peers in the district and the state of Georgia.

The school consistently scores below the Cherokee County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with only 26% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 41.4% in the county and 34.9% statewide. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past 10 years, ranging from 652nd out of 1,238 schools in 2024-2025 to 897th out of 1,234 schools in 2018-2019. It has consistently received a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One significant challenge facing the school is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.91% in 2022-2023 to 76.84% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the nearby Sixes Elementary, Macedonia Elementary, and Hickory Flat Elementary schools in the same district. This high poverty concentration may be contributing to the school's declining performance on the Milestones Assessments over the past several years.
