Summary

Oak Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Covington, Georgia, serving 642 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Newton County School District, which is ranked 159 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Hill Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Newton County and Georgia state averages in Milestones Assessment scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 16.8%, compared to 21.8% for Newton County and 34.9% for the state. Additionally, Oak Hill Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.53% to 85.03% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the district.

Despite spending more per student ($10,045 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools, Oak Hill Elementary's academic performance has steadily declined, with its statewide ranking dropping from 464 out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 667 out of 1,214 in 2020-2021. When compared to other schools in the Newton County district, Oak Hill Elementary consistently underperforms in academic metrics, despite having similar student-teacher ratios. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's poor academic performance, which has remained at a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Best school ever! Teachers for the most part are great and the principal is just what the school needs to bring structure and discipline. Close Quote
