Summary

Hamilton Crossing Elementary School in Cartersville, GA, serves 653 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Bartow County School District, and has earned a 4-star rating after climbing from the 29th to the 79th percentile statewide over the past seven years.

This school stands out for its remarkable and accelerating improvement. In just the last year, Hamilton Crossing jumped 216 spots in the state rankings, now placing 262nd out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools. The most impressive gains are in 5th grade, where 62.3% of students scored proficient in math—15 points above the district average and 18 points above the state—and 64.7% scored proficient in science, outpacing the district by 23 points. That science proficiency is a true signature strength, more than double the rate at nearby Kingston Elementary School (32.3%). The school also excels at serving all students: it ranks in the 78th percentile for Hispanic students, the 71st percentile for special education students, and the 76th percentile for female students, showing consistent success across diverse groups rather than relying on one demographic.

Perhaps most encouraging for parents is the school's dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from 18.2% to 10.2% in four years—now well below the district (15.8%) and state (17.7%) averages, despite 63% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Hamilton Crossing also achieves these results efficiently, spending $16,092 per student, less than nearby Pine Log Elementary ($19,904) and Kingston Elementary ($18,561), while outperforming most of them. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 and a trajectory that shows no signs of slowing, Hamilton Crossing is a school on the rise—one that appears to be building strong foundations early and carrying that momentum through every grade level.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, July 14, 2014

I would just like to say that my daughter loved having Mrs. Bell as her kindergarten teacher and she said she would miss being in her class very much. As a parent I would like to say Mrs. Bell was so easy to talk to and she was so good at helping us with our daughter. She always worked with us to find solutions to issues and we could not have asked for a better kindergarten teacher than her. Close Quote
