Summary

Sagamore Hills Elementary School in Atlanta, GA, serves 428 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and has earned a 4-star rating for ten consecutive years, placing it in the 78th percentile statewide. This consistently strong school outperforms both the DeKalb County district and Georgia state averages across every subject and grade level tested, with particularly impressive results in science—where 5th graders recently scored 58% proficient, nearly double the district rate. The school also shines in math, with 3rd graders hitting 62% proficiency compared to the state's 48%, and prior-year English Language Arts results showed 5th graders achieving 61% proficiency, well above the state average of 43%.

Families considering Sagamore Hills will find a school with a relatively low poverty rate (30% free/reduced lunch) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1. Chronic absenteeism sits at 14.6%, which is notably better than the district's 26.7% but higher than the state average. The school's main areas for growth include closing a performance gap between female students (82nd percentile) and male students (68th percentile), and reducing absenteeism further. When compared to nearby Oak Grove Elementary School—just under a mile away and ranked in the 92nd percentile—Sagamore Hills has room to improve, particularly in attendance (Oak Grove's chronic absenteeism is just 3.9%).

Within a 2.5-mile radius, Sagamore Hills sits firmly in a cluster of high-performing schools that includes Laurel Ridge Elementary and Briarlake Elementary, all ranking in the 78th percentile or higher. This stands in stark contrast to nearby Woodward Elementary, John Robert Lewis Elementary, and Montclair Elementary, which rank in the single digits. With stable rankings over a decade, strong science and math programs, and a supportive learning environment, Sagamore Hills offers a high-quality educational experience that consistently exceeds state and district benchmarks.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, May 31, 2016

The children are treated with respect and kindness. The STEM certification means that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are strongly offered and taught with professional expertise.
There is much parent involvement which enriches the school in many ways. The neighborhood association also provides money and other support to this school.
My grandson has been in the school for seven years, prek through grade five. I am a retired educator who has been warmly welcomed in classrooms as a volunteer.
I can detect excellent teaching and I have seen it here at Sagamore Hills. Close Quote
