Summary:
The city of Hiram, Georgia is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. The schools in this Paulding County district serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Among the elementary schools, Sam D. Panter Elementary School stands out as a consistent top performer, ranking among the top 50% of Georgia elementary schools over the past 3 years and outperforming the county and state averages on standardized test scores. McGarity Elementary School also performs well, exceeding the county and state averages in several areas on the Milestones Assessments. However, the elementary schools generally underperform the county and state averages on these assessments.
At the high school level, Hiram High School has a 85.4% four-year graduation rate, which is a positive metric. However, the high school lags behind the county and state averages on End of Course test scores across multiple subjects. This suggests a potential disconnect in academic performance as students progress through the school system. Additionally, all the schools in Hiram have a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the district.
