Summary

Glanton-Hindsman Elementary in Villa Rica, GA, serves approximately 691 students in grades PK-5 as part of Carroll County Schools. The school currently ranks at the 45th percentile statewide, a drop from last year's 57th percentile, and sits below most nearby elementary schools in the area.

One of the clearest bright spots is chronic absenteeism, which has fallen dramatically from 28.8% in 2021-2022 to 16.3% now—better than both the district and state averages. That improvement suggests real progress in getting kids to school consistently. However, math proficiency remains a significant concern. In 3rd grade, only 37.4% of students are proficient compared to a 52% district average; 4th grade sits at 40.9% vs. 54.3%; and 5th grade is at 35% vs. 50%. These gaps have persisted for three years and are widening in the early grades. Science scores are mixed—5th grade proficiency is 41.7%, below the district but close to the state average, though it has slipped from last year. English Language Arts results for the current year are not yet available, but last year's data showed relative strength in 4th grade while 3rd and 5th grades lagged behind district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Glanton-Hindsman trails most of its neighbors. Ithica Elementary, just 3.78 miles away, ranks at the 72nd percentile with significantly higher math proficiency (60.4% in 3rd grade vs. 37.4%), though it also serves a student population with lower economic need. Providence Elementary (74th percentile), Temple Elementary (71st), and even Villa Rica Elementary (59th) all rank higher. On the positive side, the school spends less per student ($11,944) than many peers yet achieves comparable results, suggesting efficient use of resources. The school also shows relative strength in serving its African American students, who rank at the 54th percentile statewide. With a changing demographic profile and a clear need for targeted math interventions, Glanton-Hindsman has both challenges and opportunities ahead.
