Summary

Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary is a public elementary school in East Point, Georgia, serving 589 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fulton County School District, which is ranked 47th out of 206 districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,400 to $11,600 and a student-teacher ratio of 13-14, Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Georgia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the Fulton County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.4% of 3rd graders, 30% of 4th graders, and 29.4% of 5th graders at Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.8%, 54%, and 58.9% in Fulton County, respectively.

The school's challenges are not unique, as many of the nearby schools in the East Point and Atlanta areas, such as Parklane Elementary, Asa Hilliard Elementary, and Conley Hills Elementary, also struggle with low proficiency rates and low rankings. This suggests that the academic challenges faced by Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary may be influenced by broader socioeconomic factors in the region, rather than being specific to the school itself.
