Summary

Glenn Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Augusta, Georgia, serving 432 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 177 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenn Hills Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1,129 and 1,237 out of around 1,240 schools. The school's academic performance is significantly below the Richmond County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with only 3.6% of 3rd graders, 15.2% of 4th graders, and 17.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 18.4%, 20.9%, and 25.5% for the district, and 34.9%, 39.3%, and 43% for the state. The school's math and science proficiency rates are also much lower than the district and state averages.

Despite the low academic performance, Glenn Hills Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 12.4 students per teacher in recent years, which is comparable to or better than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's spending per student, between $8,850 and $9,451, is not significantly lower than the district average. These factors suggest that the challenges facing the school may be more complex than just a lack of resources, and may require a multi-faceted approach to address the significant economic disadvantages of the student population and improve the quality of instruction and support provided to students.
