Summary

Emma Hutchinson Elementary School in Atlanta, GA, serves approximately 295 students in grades PK-5 within the Atlanta Public Schools district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools, though the most recent year shows some signs of stabilization and modest improvement in specific areas.

One of the most pressing concerns is chronic absenteeism. At 35.6%, more than one in three students misses a substantial portion of instructional time—roughly double the state average of 17.7% and higher than nearby Cleveland Avenue Elementary School (30.2%) and T. J. Perkerson Elementary School (31.3%). The contrast with nearby charter schools is stark: Ethos Classical Charter School reports just 1.3% chronic absenteeism, and Resurgence Hall Charter School reports 7.2%, despite serving similar populations. This attendance gap likely plays a major role in academic outcomes.

In math, 3rd grade proficiency reached 22% and 4th grade improved to 26.8%, but 5th grade plummeted to just 10.3%—well below district (39.3%) and state (44.1%) averages. Science, however, shows an encouraging upward trend, improving from 8.5% in 2023-2024 to 17.9% in 2025-2026. The school spends a substantial $31,215 per student—about 2.4 times what Resurgence Hall Charter School spends—yet outcomes remain far lower, raising questions about resource effectiveness. The improving attendance trend, gains in 4th grade math, and rising science scores suggest targeted interventions can work. Priorities should include addressing chronic absenteeism, investigating the 5th grade math decline, and examining the significant gender gap in academic performance.
