Summary

Frank Long Elementary School in Hinesville, GA, serves approximately 685 students in grades K-5 as part of the Liberty County school district. The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 35th percentile statewide, placing it in the lower-middle tier of Georgia elementary schools.

One of the school's standout strengths is its work with African American students, who rank in the 54th percentile statewide—a notably stronger result than the school's overall performance. In math, 3rd graders nearly match the state average (48.6% vs. 48.3%), but proficiency drops sharply by 5th grade to 28%, compared to 44.1% statewide. This pattern suggests the school builds strong foundational skills in early grades but struggles to sustain that momentum. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved steadily over five years, falling from 32.8% to 26.1%, though it remains above the state rate of 17.7%. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $13,325 per pupil with a favorable 14.5:1 student-teacher ratio.

For context, nearby Taylors Creek Elementary School serves a similar demographic profile yet achieves dramatically different results—ranking in the 89th percentile with 4th grade math proficiency at 78.2% versus Frank Long's 30.1%. This comparison suggests the challenges Frank Long faces are not insurmountable. The school has also shown improvement in 5th grade science, rising from 24% to 33% proficiency over two years. While the rapid increase in free/reduced lunch eligibility (from 77% to 100% in two years) signals a shifting student population, Frank Long's consistent progress in attendance and early-grade math indicates a school working to adapt and improve.
