Summary

Hutto Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bainbridge, Georgia, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 781 students. The school is part of the Decatur County School District, which is ranked 167 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hutto Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, is consistently below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 23.3% (3rd grade) to 35.7% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 34.9% (3rd grade) and 43% (5th grade). Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 28% (3rd grade) to 32.5% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 44.3% (3rd grade) and 42.6% (5th grade). The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.37% in 2023-2024 to 100% in 2022-2023, suggesting a predominantly low-income student population.

The nearby West Bainbridge Primary School and Jones-Wheat Primary School, which serve younger grades (PK-2), have slightly higher academic performance and lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to Hutto Elementary School. This suggests that the academic challenges may be more pronounced in the upper elementary grades. Additionally, Hutto Elementary School's performance is closely aligned with the overall performance of the Decatur County School District, indicating that the school's challenges may be systemic within the district.
