Summary

Lyman Hall Elementary School in Hinesville, GA, serves approximately 588 students in grades K-5 as part of the Liberty County School District, and it currently holds a 0-star rating with a statewide ranking in the 9th percentile.

This school faces significant challenges, particularly in mathematics. In the most recent testing, math proficiency rates ranged from just 16.5% in 4th grade to 20.7% in 3rd grade—roughly half the district average and less than half the state average. The contrast with nearby Taylors Creek Elementary School, located just 2.28 miles away in the same district, is striking: Taylors Creek posts math proficiency rates of 65-78% and ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. Both schools serve predominantly low-income families, but a key difference is chronic absenteeism—Lyman Hall's rate is 29.0%, more than double Taylors Creek's 12.8% and well above the state average of 17.7%. This suggests that improving attendance could be a powerful lever for academic improvement. On a more positive note, 5th grade science scores have shown a meaningful upward trend, rising from 16.3% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 27.4% in 2025-2026, though they still trail district and state averages.

Lyman Hall serves a student population where 100% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch—the highest poverty concentration among comparable area schools. Per-student spending has increased notably, from $10,614 in 2022-2023 to $13,733 in 2024-2025, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1 is favorable compared to some peers like Button Gwinnett Elementary School (27.1:1). Despite this investment, academic outcomes have not improved correspondingly, indicating that additional funding alone won't solve the school's challenges. The school's ranking has declined steadily over the past decade, from the 39th percentile in 2015-2016 to its current 9th percentile. However, the success of Taylors Creek—serving a similar community with dramatically better results—demonstrates that improvement is possible within the same district. The path forward likely requires aggressive attendance initiatives, targeted instructional support, and a focus on early-grade math skills.

This school needs an all around improvement. The teachers are not motivating. The school has an blah kind of feel to it. Then communicating is not their strong suit. If you need anything go to a different school because you won’t find help here. Close Quote
