Hillcrest Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on the Milestones Assessment for both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.5% of 3rd-grade students and 34.4% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 34.9% and 39.3%, respectively.

Hillcrest Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with its ranking ranging from 761 to 981 out of over 1,200 schools in the state over the past several years.

When comparing Hillcrest Elementary to nearby schools, such as Susie Dasher, which is also in the Dublin City district, Hillcrest consistently underperforms in academic metrics. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100%) and the relatively low spending per student (ranging from $8,702 to $9,246) suggest that Hillcrest Elementary may be facing challenges related to socioeconomic factors and resource constraints that could be impacting its academic performance.
