Summary

Hamilton Elementary School in Hartsfield, GA, is a small, high-achieving public school serving 220 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Colquitt County school district. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 82nd percentile of all Georgia elementary schools, placing it among the top performers in its district and state.

What truly sets Hamilton apart is its standout performance in math and science. In the most recent school year, 5th graders posted a 72.8% proficiency rate in science—compared to 48.6% for the district and 44.2% for the state—while 3rd graders hit 60% in math versus 45.1% for the district. These results are not a one-year fluke; the school has sustained strong scores across all grade levels for several years. Hamilton also shines when compared to nearby schools. While Odom Elementary School, Cox Elementary School, and Okapilco Elementary School rank in the bottom third of the state, Hamilton ranks 224th—far ahead of most of its peers. Only Wright Elementary School (207th) and Sunset Elementary School (256th) are comparable in performance.

Attendance and investment are two other areas where Hamilton excels. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 8.2%—nearly half the district rate (15.1%) and less than half the state rate (17.7%)—a trend that has held steady for five years. The school also spends more per student ($18,861) than most district peers, including Odom ($15,189) and Cox ($16,510). This combination of high engagement and resources appears to pay off: even with 60% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, Hamilton outperforms schools with 100% poverty rates by wide margins. The school’s ranking has climbed from the 34th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 82nd percentile today, showing a clear upward trajectory and a strong culture of success.
