Better than 8% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary is a PK-5 school in East Point, GA, serving 587 students within the Fulton County district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.3:1 and per-pupil spending of $17,479, but its state ranking has slipped sharply to the 8th percentile in 2025-2026—its lowest point in a decade.

The most encouraging news is a dramatic drop in chronic absenteeism, falling from 33.6% to 23.0% in a single year—a 10.6-point improvement. That rate is still above the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages, but it’s notably better than nearby Conley Hills Elementary (33.2%) and L. O. Kimberly Elementary (32.5%). Academically, math proficiency varies widely by grade: 4th graders hit 31.5% proficiency, while only 13.9% of 3rd graders and 21.8% of 5th graders met the mark. Science proficiency for 5th graders is just 15.9%, a steep drop from 32.2% two years earlier and far below the district’s 55.8%.

Compared to nearby schools, Hamilton E. Holmes sits in the middle of the pack—above Atlanta Unbound Academy (0th percentile) and Conley Hills (17th), but well below Asa Hilliard Elementary (42nd). The contrast with Resurgence Hall Charter School is striking: that school ranks in the 97th percentile with 73.5% 3rd-grade math proficiency, despite spending less per student ($13,047). The 2025-2026 decline came even as the school maintained strong resources, suggesting that while absenteeism is improving, translating that momentum into academic gains remains the key challenge ahead.
