Summary

Lula Elementary School in Lula, GA, serves approximately 382 students in grades PK-5 within the Hall County School District, and this year it earned its best statewide ranking in nearly a decade, climbing to the 49th percentile (616th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools).

The school's standout strength is its 5th grade performance. In math, 45.3% of 5th graders scored proficient this year, beating the district average of 37.4% and the state average of 44.1%—continuing a three-year streak where Lula has outperformed its district by 8 to 21 percentage points. Science results are equally impressive, with 42.2% proficiency versus 29.6% district-wide, placing Lula among the top elementary schools in Hall County for that subject. The school also made significant progress on attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped from 26.7% two years ago to 17.7% now, matching the state average and beating its own district's rate of 18.6%. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1, families will find smaller class sizes than at nearby Mount Vernon Elementary (16.1:1) or Wauka Mountain Elementary (16.3:1).

However, the picture is mixed. While male students rank in the 58th percentile statewide, female students rank in only the 33rd percentile, suggesting a gender gap worth exploring. The school also spends more per student ($14,637) than higher-performing neighbors like Mount Vernon ($12,368) and Wauka Mountain ($12,887), yet those schools achieve stronger overall results—though they serve more affluent populations. Compared to Tadmore Elementary (8th percentile) and Sandra Dunagan Deal Elementary (25th percentile), Lula is clearly ahead. With improving attendance, a reduced poverty rate (66.5% free/reduced lunch), and momentum from its best ranking in years, Lula Elementary appears well-positioned for continued growth—especially if it can replicate its 5th grade success across all grade levels.
