Summary

Hunt Elementary School in Fort Valley, GA, serves approximately 654 students in grades PK-5 within the Peach County district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Hunt Elementary is showing real momentum. The school has climbed from the 6th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 24th percentile in 2025-2026—a significant three-year improvement. The most dramatic gains are in math: 4th grade proficiency jumped from 13.3% in 2023-2024 to 38.9% in 2025-2026, and 3rd grade math improved from 25% to 35.3% over the same period. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped from 33.4% to 21.7%, now below the district average. While overall scores still trail state averages, the upward trend is encouraging. One area of concern is 5th grade science, which fell to 18.3% proficiency—well below nearby Byron Elementary School (46.5%) and Kay Road Elementary (47.3%).

Comparing Hunt to neighboring schools reveals a striking pattern tied to district boundaries. Schools in Houston County—like Quail Run Elementary School and Langston Road Elementary School—rank in the 68th-88th percentiles, while Peach and Crawford County schools cluster much lower. Notably, Hunt spends less per student ($11,976) than Kay Road Elementary ($15,021), which serves a similarly high-poverty population but achieves better outcomes. This raises a question about whether increased investment could accelerate Hunt's progress. The school's improvement in African American student outcomes (42nd percentile) relative to its overall ranking suggests targeted supports are working for some groups. With English Language Arts scores from the latest testing cycle not yet released, the full picture remains incomplete, but Hunt's trajectory—rising rankings, falling absenteeism, and strong math gains—offers genuine reason for optimism.
