Summary

Ruth Hill Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Newnan, GA, serving 346 students within the Coweta County School District, a district ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide.

Ruth Hill stands out for its remarkable progress despite serving a student body where nearly 8 in 10 students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school’s biggest success story is 4th grade math: 70% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, beating the district average (60.8%) and the state average (50.1%) by wide margins, and topping every nearby school—including Elm Street Elementary (67.6%) and Northside Elementary (63.6%). This represents a stunning one-year jump from 38.2% proficiency. The school also shows strong gains in 5th grade science, rising from 22.4% proficient in 2022-2023 to 49.2% in 2025-2026, now above the state average. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 24.6% to 14.1% over four years—now below both district (19.2%) and state (17.7%) averages, a rare feat for a high-poverty school.

Ruth Hill invests heavily in its students, spending $19,241 per pupil—the highest among comparable schools—and maintaining a 9.8:1 student-teacher ratio, the lowest in the area. These resources appear to be paying off: the school’s overall ranking has climbed from the 42nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 61st percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. While 5th grade math (37.3% proficient) and 3rd grade math (36.8%) remain challenges, the school outperforms similar-poverty peers like Jefferson Parkway Elementary (19th percentile) and Arnco-Sargent Elementary (35th percentile). With its upward trajectory and strong resource commitment, Ruth Hill appears well-positioned for continued improvement.

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

I have been overall dissatisfied in my experience with this school. I have had numerous issues concerning some of their teachers and bullying in the 5th grade class. I have had a few conferences, correspondence through email and a few phone conversations, but to no avail. Finally, after complaining all year, my daughter was moved to another class... with only a few weeks left in the school year. I will be so glad to get her out of this school! If you are anything like me and truly care about your child's education, try to get a waiver for a different elementary school or be prepared to teach your children at home if you want them to actually learn anything!
