Summary

Hendricks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Powder Springs, Georgia, serving 501 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54th out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hendricks Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Cobb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the county and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.71% to 85.83% in recent years, suggesting a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,741 to $11,879 in recent years, and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 11.5, the academic performance has not improved.

When compared to nearby schools in the Cobb County district, such as Varner Elementary School and Clarkdale Elementary School, Hendricks Elementary School consistently underperforms in academic proficiency rates. The school's performance on the Milestones Assessment has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 545 out of 1,242 Georgia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 715 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025. These findings suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the underlying factors contributing to the academic challenges.
