Summary

Hazel Grove Elementary School in Mount Airy, GA, serves 272 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Habersham County school district, which ranks in the top 28% of Georgia districts.

Hazel Grove stands out as a top performer in its district, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating. It consistently outperforms nearby schools like Clarkesville Elementary School (62nd percentile), Demorest Elementary School (61st percentile), and Cornelia Elementary School (24th percentile). The school's greatest strength is mathematics—3rd grade math proficiency hit 71.4% in 2025-2026, more than 23 percentage points above both district and state averages. Even in 5th grade math, where proficiency is 59.6%, the school surpasses the district by 17 points and the state by 15.5 points. Science scores in 5th grade (45.2%) are the school's weakest subject but still exceed the district average. While this year's English Language Arts (ELA) scores aren't available yet, last year's results showed Hazel Grove exceeding state averages in every grade level, with 5th grade ELA proficiency at 50% versus 43% statewide.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of Hazel Grove is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.3%—less than one-third of the district average (13.2%) and one-quarter of the state average (17.7%). This strong attendance likely contributes to the school's academic success. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $17,192 per student in 2024-2025, among the highest in the area, and maintaining a favorable 12.3:1 student-teacher ratio. Hazel Grove has shown remarkable stability, earning 4-star ratings in 9 of the past 10 years, and it continues to perform well even as its student population has shifted to 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility. For parents considering schools in the area, Hazel Grove's combination of strong math scores, excellent attendance, and consistent performance makes it a standout choice within the Habersham County district.
