Summary

Glenn Hills Elementary School in Augusta, GA, serves approximately 370 students in grades PK through 5 within the Richmond County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Glenn Hills has faced persistent academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 1% of Georgia elementary schools for the 2025-2026 school year. While this represents a slight improvement from the prior year, the school continues to struggle compared to nearby schools. In mathematics, 18.5% of 3rd graders scored proficient, but only 1.7% of 4th graders achieved proficiency—a dramatic 16.8 percentage point gap that is the lowest 4th grade math rate among all nearby schools. This stands in stark contrast to Rocky Creek Charter Academy, located just over a mile away, where 50% of 3rd graders and 37.6% of 4th graders are proficient in math. Science proficiency also remains a concern, with only 6.8% of 5th graders proficient, below most neighboring schools like Meadowbrook Elementary School (26%) and Dorothy Hains Elementary School (12.3%).

There are some encouraging signs. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 39.2% to 29.9% in a single year, now below the district average of 30.3%. The school also spends $16,811 per student—the second-highest among nearby schools—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.0. However, this investment has not yet translated into competitive outcomes, as several schools with lower spending, such as Wheeless Road Elementary School ($13,329), achieve similar proficiency rates. While ELA scores for the current year will be released in December, historical trends show improvement in 4th and 5th grade reading, though 3rd grade literacy remains a critical challenge at just 3.6% proficiency. The school's overall ranking improved slightly, and 3rd grade math is approaching the district average, offering a potential path forward if the school can build on these gains.
