Summary

Hendricks Elementary School in Powder Springs, GA, serves approximately 538 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cobb County School District, and currently holds a 2-star rating (36th percentile statewide) for the 2025-2026 school year.

Hendricks is a school in transition, with nearly all students (98.5%) now qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a sharp increase from 73.7% just two years ago. This shift in student demographics provides important context for the school's recent ranking decline from the 56th percentile in 2022-2023. Despite these challenges, there are clear bright spots. The school shows notably strong results for its African American students, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide (3-star rating)—far better than its overall performance. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, dropping from 28.2% to 16.3% over four years, now below the state average. In science, 5th grade proficiency jumped from 23.5% to 32.5% in a single year, suggesting recent instructional changes are taking hold. The school also maintains a favorable 12.9:1 student-teacher ratio and spends about $18,892 per student—higher than nearby Sanders Elementary ($17,694) and Powder Springs Elementary ($16,913).

However, mathematics remains a significant concern. Proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (32.9%, 37.1%, and 38.5% respectively) lag district averages by roughly 15-20 points at every level. When compared to nearby schools, Hendricks sits in the middle of the pack—outperforming Compton Elementary (11th percentile) but trailing Varner Elementary (52nd) and Clarkdale Elementary (51st). Notably, several Douglas County schools within a few miles—including Annette Winn Elementary (51st) and Lithia Springs Elementary (50th)—rank higher despite spending $3,000-$4,000 less per student. The school also shows a gender gap, with female students performing better (40th percentile) than males (30th). Overall, Hendricks demonstrates that targeted efforts—like its attendance initiatives and science improvements—can yield results, even as math achievement remains the key area for growth.
