Summary

Hollis Hand Elementary School is a public elementary school in LaGrange, Georgia, serving 594 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Troup County School District. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, ranking in the top 25% of Georgia elementary schools.

Hollis Hand Elementary's academic success can be attributed to several key factors. The school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.2 to 16.3 students per teacher, which may contribute to its strong performance. Additionally, Hollis Hand spends more per student than the state average, with spending ranging from $8,237 to $9,393 per student over the past three school years. Compared to nearby schools in the Troup County district, such as Hillcrest Elementary, which also has a 5-star rating, Hollis Hand stands out as a consistently high-performing institution.

While Hollis Hand Elementary serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 43.84% to 54.71% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, the school's academic performance remains strong. This suggests the school has effective teaching practices and curriculum in place to support student success, even in the face of socioeconomic challenges. As the district and state continue to work towards improving educational outcomes, Hollis Hand Elementary can serve as a model for other schools to emulate.
