Summary

Harmony Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Jasper, Georgia, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 488 students. The school is part of the Pickens County School District, which is ranked 73 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harmony Elementary School's test scores on the Milestones Assessment are generally lower than the Pickens County and Georgia averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 29.6% at Harmony, compared to 33.1% in Pickens County and 34.9% statewide. Similarly, the 4th-grade math proficiency rate was 62.5% at Harmony, compared to 64.4% in Pickens County and 49% statewide. Additionally, Harmony Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 69.06% of students in this category in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the rates at the nearby Hill City Elementary (64.38%) and Tate Elementary (68.34%) schools.

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than some of the other nearby schools, Harmony Elementary's statewide ranking has been declining over the past several years, from 493 out of 1,233 Georgia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 546 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state, and the high percentage of students from low-income families may be a contributing factor to the school's lower test scores. Harmony Elementary may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support services for students to help improve student outcomes.
