Summary

Hollis Hand Elementary School in LaGrange, GA, serves 579 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Troup County School District, and it has earned a strong reputation as one of the district's top-performing elementary schools with a 4-star rating and a statewide rank of 216th out of 1,219 schools.

What really sets Hollis Hand apart is its exceptional math instruction. In 3rd grade, 79.3% of students scored proficient in math—a remarkable 31 percentage points above both the district and state averages. The school also shines in 4th grade (68.2% proficient) and 5th grade (55% proficient), consistently outperforming its peers. This strength extends to science, where 5th graders posted a 50.6% proficiency rate, beating the state average by more than 6 points. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism low at 15.3%, below the state average of 17.7%, which suggests strong family engagement and a positive school culture. While math proficiency does decline somewhat as students move up in grade levels, Hollis Hand still beats district and state averages at every step.

Compared to nearby schools, Hollis Hand stands out dramatically. It far outperforms Franklin Forest Elementary (ranked 903rd) and Ethel W. Kight Elementary (ranked 587th), and it edges out Rosemont Elementary in 3rd and 5th grade math. Only Hillcrest Elementary clearly surpasses it. What's especially impressive is that Hollis Hand has improved its ranking for four straight years, even as the share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch jumped from 43.8% to 65.5%. The school also spends less per student ($13,323) than several lower-performing neighbors, making it a highly efficient choice for families seeking strong academics in the LaGrange area.
