Summary

Flowery Branch Elementary School in Flowery Branch, GA, serves approximately 711 students in grades PK-5 within the Hall County School District, and has shown remarkable academic momentum this year, jumping from the 32nd to the 49th percentile statewide—its best ranking since 2018.

The school's standout strengths are in early-grade math and 5th grade science. In 3rd grade math, 43.1% of students are proficient, beating the district average of 40.5%, while 4th grade math proficiency (49.6%) also outpaces the district (42.7%) and nearly matches the state. The biggest turnaround came in 5th grade science, where proficiency soared from 12.2% to 38.7%—now more than 9 points above the district average. This improvement is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like Lyman Hall Elementary (6th percentile) and Oakwood Elementary (21st percentile), which serve similar communities but rank far lower. However, 5th grade math remains a challenge at 34.5% proficiency, trailing both the district (37.4%) and state (44.1%), suggesting the school struggles to maintain math gains as students move up.

Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 25.8% to 17.5%, now better than both district and state averages—a likely contributor to the academic gains. The school also performs well for English Language Learners (52nd percentile) and spends efficiently at $11,803 per student, less than nearby lower-performing schools like Martin Elementary ($13,789). Special education students (19th percentile) remain the school's biggest area of concern. While Spout Springs Elementary (84th percentile) and Chestnut Mountain Elementary (68th percentile) outperform Flowery Branch, the school's upward trajectory—from 30th percentile in 2021 to 49th today—suggests it is closing the gap and may soon reach 3-star status.
