Summary:
Zip code 30230 in Hogansville, GA, is served by a single elementary school, Hogansville Elementary School, which enrolls 469 students in grades PK-5 within the Troup County school district.
Hogansville Elementary School stands out for its exceptional attendance record despite serving a student body where 94% qualify for free or reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 8.2%—less than half the district rate of 15.0% and far below the state average of 17.7%. This suggests strong family engagement and effective support systems. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $14,513 per pupil with a favorable 13.6:1 student-teacher ratio. Academically, the school shows a notable pattern: 3rd grade math proficiency lags at 38.6% (compared to 48.3% statewide), but upper-grade performance is much stronger. In 4th grade math, 50% of students are proficient, matching the state average and beating the district's 44%. Fifth grade math is a clear highlight, with 49% proficiency versus 39.9% in the district and 44.1% statewide. Science is another strength, with 45.1% of 5th graders proficient, exceeding both district (41.7%) and state (44.2%) averages.
However, the school's overall state ranking has slipped from the 64th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 56th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating that peer schools are improving faster. Year-over-year math trends are mixed: 3rd grade dropped 4.9 points and 4th grade dropped 6.4 points, while 5th grade improved by 3.0 points and science improved by 3.8 points. The school's heavy spending has not yet translated into a higher overall ranking, raising questions about resource allocation. English Language Arts scores from the 2024-2025 school year showed all grades below state averages, with 4th grade at 30.9% versus 39.3% statewide; current-year ELA data has not been released. For parents, this school offers strong attendance, competitive upper-grade math and science, and generous resources, but early-grade math foundations and overall ranking trends warrant attention.
