Summary

Heroes Elementary School in Hoschton, GA, serves approximately 994 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Jackson County School District, a district that ranks in the 81st percentile statewide. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 70th percentile of Georgia elementary schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 and per-student spending of $12,023.

One of the most impressive aspects of Heroes Elementary is its exceptional performance with student subgroups that often face achievement gaps. The school ranks in the top 15% statewide for English Language Learner students (85th percentile), the top 14% for Special Education students (86th percentile), and the top 15% for African American students (85th percentile)—all earning 4-star ratings. These results exceed the school's overall performance percentile, showing that targeted supports are working well. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism at just 11.2%, well below the district's 13.1% and the state's 17.7%. In 3rd-grade math, 59.1% of students score proficient or above, beating the state average of 48.3% and nearly matching the district's 60.3%. Heroes also outperforms nearby schools in neighboring counties—for example, Winder Elementary (43.5% 3rd-grade math) and Myers Elementary (33%) trail significantly.

However, there are areas for growth. Math proficiency dips from 59.1% in 3rd grade to 52.3% in 4th and 53.4% in 5th grade, and 5th-grade science (44.7%) barely meets the state average while lagging behind Gum Springs Elementary (56.4%) just 1.7 miles away. Gum Springs also outperforms Heroes in overall rank (166th vs. 370th) and 4th-grade math (81.5% vs. 52.3%), though it serves a more affluent population. Despite these gaps, Heroes delivers strong results for the students who need the most support, all while spending less per student than most comparable schools. The primary opportunities are maintaining math gains beyond 3rd grade and exploring instructional strategies from higher-performing neighbors.
