Summary:
Hoboken Elementary School is the only school in Hoboken, Georgia, serving grades PK through 6 with 551 students as part of the Brantley County school district. This small-town school has earned a 4-star rating for three consecutive years, ranking in the top quartile of Georgia elementary schools—302nd out of 1,219 schools in 2025-2026, down slightly from 180th the prior year.
Hoboken Elementary’s standout strength is its upper elementary grades. In 2025-2026, 6th graders posted a 74.1% Mathematics proficiency rate, a remarkable 33.4 points above the state average, while 5th graders achieved 78.8% proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) in 2024-2025—35.8 points above the state. Science results were equally strong, with 76.9% of 5th graders proficient, beating the state by 33.1 points. The school outperforms its district in nearly every subject and grade, making it a clear academic leader in Brantley County. However, a notable concern is 4th grade Mathematics, where proficiency fell to 42.4% in 2025-2026—below both the district (52.2%) and state (50.1%)—and dropped 19.4 points from the previous year. All grades saw year-over-year Mathematics declines, though these reflect different student cohorts.
Supporting these results are favorable learning conditions: a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio, chronic absenteeism at 16.9% (slightly better than the state’s 17.7%), and per-student spending of $13,576. The school’s performance pattern—strong in 3rd grade, dipping in 4th, then surging in 5th and 6th—suggests effective upper-grade programming, possibly through specialized instruction. While the recent ranking slip and 4th grade math dip warrant attention, Hoboken Elementary remains a consistently high-performing option for families, with exceptional results in upper elementary and a track record of beating state averages across most measures.
