Summary

Conley Hills Elementary School in East Point, GA, serves approximately 377 students in grades PK-5 as part of Fulton County, and it has been on a clear upward trajectory over the past three years despite facing significant challenges tied to a high-poverty community.

Conley Hills has shown steady, meaningful academic improvement. In math, 3rd grade proficiency nearly doubled from 19.1% in 2022-2023 to 38% in 2025-2026, while 5th grade science proficiency jumped eightfold from 2.8% to 22.5% over the same period. The school's statewide rank has climbed from the 2nd percentile to the 17th percentile in just three years. However, a clear pattern emerges: proficiency declines as students advance through grade levels. In 2025-2026, math proficiency drops from 38% in 3rd grade to 27.7% in 4th grade, then to 15.5% in 5th grade. This suggests early-grade interventions are working, but sustaining growth in upper elementary remains a challenge. Chronic absenteeism, while improving from 43.1% to 33.2%, remains nearly double the district average of 16.6% and is closely linked to academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Conley Hills outperforms Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary and College Park Elementary but lags behind Asa Hilliard Elementary School. The contrast with Resurgence Hall Charter School, just over a mile away, is striking—Resurgence Hall achieves 73.5% math proficiency in 3rd grade and maintains a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.2%. Notably, Conley Hills spends more per student ($25,080) than both Asa Hilliard ($21,880) and Resurgence Hall ($13,047), and maintains a favorable 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio. This suggests that resources alone aren't the primary driver of outcomes; attendance, school culture, and instructional quality play equally important roles. With continued focus on attendance and sustaining gains through upper grades, Conley Hills appears positioned for continued progress.
