Summary

New Hope Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cumming, Georgia, serving 1,143 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Forsyth County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 206 districts in the state.

New Hope Elementary consistently outperforms the Forsyth County and Georgia state averages on academic assessments, with 73.8% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 82.2% proficient or better in Math, compared to 64.7% and 73.9% in the district, respectively. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 15.4%, lower than nearby Cumming Elementary (61.6%) and George W. Whitlow Elementary (30.15%), and a student-teacher ratio of 15.8, higher than some nearby schools but lower than larger ones.

While New Hope Elementary is an excellent school, it is not the absolute top performer in the immediate area, as Daves Creek Elementary has even higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. Additionally, New Hope's spending per student ($8,944 in 2018-2019) is lower than some nearby schools, suggesting it achieves its high performance with relatively lower per-student funding. The school's increasing percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, from 9.72% in 2022-2023 to 15.4% in 2023-2024, is an important trend to monitor as it could impact the school's resources and support needs.
