of 1,222 Georgia Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Lyman Hall Elementary School in Gainesville, GA, serves approximately 785 students in grades PK through 5 as part of Hall County Schools, and it currently ranks in the bottom 6% of Georgia elementary schools.

For parents, the most important thing to know is that Lyman Hall faces significant academic challenges. In the most recent testing cycle, math proficiency rates ranged from about 18% to 23% across grades 3–5, compared to state averages of 44–50%. Science proficiency was even lower at 13.7%, versus a 44.2% state average. The school also serves a very high proportion of English Language Learners, and this subgroup's performance ranks in the bottom 1% statewide. However, there are some bright spots. Chronic absenteeism has been cut by more than half over five years—from 25.9% to 11.0%—and the school now outperforms both its district and the state on this measure. The student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1 is also favorable, and per-student spending of $13,731 is on par with nearby schools.

Comparisons with nearby schools show that improvement is possible. Mundy Mill Arts Academy, just 1.5 miles away in Gainesville City, serves a similar population but achieves dramatically better results—for example, 38.9% proficiency in 3rd grade math versus Lyman Hall's 17.7%. Within its own district, Chicopee Elementary School also has a very high poverty rate yet outperforms Lyman Hall in most subjects. While Lyman Hall's improving attendance record provides a foundation to build on, the school has not shown sustained academic gains over the past decade. Parents should expect that significant, focused effort—especially around English Learner support and science instruction—will be needed to move the school forward.
