Summary

Samuel E. Hubbard Elementary School in Forsyth, GA, serves approximately 753 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly regarded Monroe County School District, which ranks in the 88th percentile statewide.

Hubbard Elementary currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking in the 66th percentile of Georgia elementary schools. This represents a modest dip from its recent streak of six consecutive 4-star ratings, but the school's long-term trajectory remains positive—it climbed from the 47th percentile in 2016-2017 to the 81st percentile by 2023-2024. One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.5%, which is nearly half the state average of 17.7% and reflects strong family engagement and effective attendance initiatives. The school also performs well with special education students, ranking in the 66th percentile statewide. Per-student spending has risen steadily to $15,464, and the student-teacher ratio is a comfortable 14.5:1.

The most notable concern is a sharp decline in 5th grade mathematics proficiency. In 2024-2025, 5th graders achieved 60.2% proficiency—well above the district and state—but that figure dropped to 35.6% in 2025-2026, falling below both averages. A similar, though less severe, decline appears in 5th grade science. This pattern suggests a possible cohort-specific challenge or an issue with upper-elementary transitions. Within the district, T.G. Scott Elementary outperforms Hubbard, while Katherine B. Sutton Elementary ranks slightly below. Compared to nearby Bibb County schools, Hubbard's performance is substantially stronger—for example, Union Elementary has a 41.2% chronic absenteeism rate and far lower math proficiency. Given the school's strong attendance, efficient spending, and history of resilience, there is good reason for cautious optimism that Hubbard can rebound from this year's dip.

I have two children that have had the privilege of attending Hubbard Elementary. They have both been pushed to their full potential. The teachers and administrators are attentive and caring. They encourage children to succeed inside and outside the classroom. This school's technology is above and beyond what most schools have. Technology is used by teachers through the use of Active Boards, ipads and their multiple computer labs. This school is definitely preparing children for the world we live in NOW. This is also a "bring your own technology" to class school that is allowed through strict guidelines, monitoring, and registration procedures. Not only is technology top notch, but the arts are still an integral part of the school's weekly curriculum with Art, Music and Band classes for all students. We are fortunate to have such a World Class school in our community! Close Quote

NO COMMUNICATION! My children have been here for just over a month and since day one it has been a horrible experience! I am exploring every other option to withdraw my children from SEHS as soon as possible. The bus drivers allow bullying and not only do they condone it, they encourage and participate. There is absolutely no communication between teachers and parents. Instead of teachers addressing a learning issue with a parent they send nasty notes home saying kids don't follow instructions. When you send home a pic of a lake and a list of farm animals there is no way to make a list of which animals live in the lake or under the water, sheep don't swim. They make learning nearly impossible for children who fall outside of the box. Instead of trying different teaching methods or asking the parents for suggestions that might help the child learn, they simply ignore the child and stop sending work home. This is not acceptable! My children were mid year transfers and they were just tossed in the mix, neither teacher asked any questions about my kids. No questions about habits, learning patterns, behavior, nothing, they just gave them a number and didn't even try. Terrible school! Close Quote
