Summary

Hapeville Elementary School serves approximately 539 students in grades PK-5 in the Fulton County School District, located just south of Atlanta in Hapeville, GA, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Hapeville Elementary stands out most dramatically for its chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.6%—the best among all nearby schools by a wide margin. For context, Heritage Academy Elementary School sits at 36.2%, Emma Hutchinson Elementary School at 35.6%, and T. J. Perkerson Elementary School at 31.3%. The school has cut its own rate from 24.9% in 2021-2022 to 11.6% today—a reduction of more than half. This strong attendance likely helps explain its academic edge: Hapeville's 5th grade math proficiency (37.8%) is second-highest among nearby schools, trailing only Unidos Dual Language School (43.8%), and its 5th grade science proficiency (39%) is also second only to Unidos (47.9%). The school also serves its African American and Hispanic students particularly well, with both subgroups ranking in the 55th percentile statewide—a 3-star rating that exceeds the school's overall ranking.

Hapeville's turnaround story is remarkable: it climbed from the 13th percentile statewide in 2015-2016 to the 58th percentile by 2022-2023, maintaining a 3-star rating for five consecutive years. While the most recent year shows a slight dip to the 44th percentile, the school remains far above its historical baseline. Notably, Hapeville achieves these results while spending $20,797 per student—significantly less than nearby schools like Joseph Humphries Elementary School ($39,161), Cleveland Avenue Elementary School ($35,454), and T. J. Perkerson Elementary School ($34,110), all of which post lower proficiency rates. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, Hapeville demonstrates that high-poverty schools can achieve meaningful success efficiently. Areas for continued growth include closing the 7-14 point gap to state averages and providing additional support for English Language Learners, who currently rank in the 36th percentile statewide.
