Summary

Shirley Hills Elementary School in Warner Robins, GA, serves 565 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Houston County School District, holding a 3-star rating and ranking in the 54th percentile statewide.

One of the school's standout achievements is its dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which has fallen from 20.3% in 2023-2024 to just 13.3% now—better than both the district (15.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. This improvement of 7 percentage points over two years suggests effective attendance initiatives are making a real difference. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $15,179 per pupil with a favorable 14:1 student-teacher ratio. While this spending is higher than nearby higher-performing schools like Lake Joy Elementary ($12,724) and Quail Run Elementary ($13,171), Shirley Hills still outperforms several neighboring schools serving similar demographics, including Westside Elementary (10th percentile) and Miller Elementary (13th percentile).

The school is navigating a significant transition, with its free/reduced lunch rate jumping to 100% in 2024-2025 from 73.7% the prior year. Despite this shift, math scores show a concerning pattern: 3rd graders score near district averages (48% proficient vs. 50.8% district), but proficiency drops to 40.7% in 4th grade and 38.4% in 5th grade—a widening gap of about 10 points by 5th grade. Historical data shows ELA has been a consistent strength, with all grade levels exceeding state averages by 5-16 percentage points in recent years. The school's overall rank has declined from the 75th percentile in 2020-2021 to its current 54th percentile, but this may reflect changing demographics rather than declining quality. For parents, the key takeaway is a school that's improving attendance, investing resources, and maintaining strong literacy outcomes while facing the challenge of supporting math achievement in upper elementary grades.
