Summary

McEver Elementary School is a public elementary school in Gainesville, Georgia, serving 538 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hall County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's efforts, McEver Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Hall County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 20.5% to 28.4%, compared to 29.8% to 43% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 22.1% to 51.4%, compared to 40.9% to 49% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 607 out of 1,205 Georgia elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 868 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When comparing McEver Elementary to other nearby schools, it becomes evident that the school is consistently one of the lower-performing institutions. For instance, Sardis Elementary School, also in the Hall County district, outperforms McEver in academic achievement across all grade levels and subject areas. Furthermore, schools within the Gainesville City School District, such as Enota Multiple Intelligences Academy and Mundy Mill Arts Academy, also surpass McEver's performance, despite the Gainesville City district having a lower ranking than Hall County.
