Summary:

Zip code 30339 in Atlanta, Georgia, is served by a single elementary school, Heards Ferry Elementary School, which enrolls 699 students across grades PK through 5 and is part of the Fulton County School District.

Heards Ferry Elementary School is an exceptional performer, consistently ranking in the top 1% of Georgia elementary schools for three consecutive years (9th, 13th, and 15th place out of roughly 1,200 schools) and earning a 5-star rating each year. Academic proficiency is dramatically above both district and state averages across every subject and grade level. In the most recent testing year, math proficiency ranged from 84.9% to 92.7% across grades 3–5, compared to state averages of 44–50%, representing a 40+ point advantage. Science proficiency in 5th grade was 78.3%, which is 34 points above the state average. The most recent English Language Arts data (from the prior year) showed proficiency rates of 78–88.5%, again far exceeding state norms. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 3.6%, which is nearly five times better than the district rate (16.6%) and state rate (17.7%).

Operationally, Heards Ferry benefits from strong resources, including a favorable 13.6:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $17,550. Only 10.87% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, reflecting a predominantly affluent student population. The school demonstrates remarkable year-over-year stability in math scores, with only minor fluctuations, and its ranking trajectory has improved from 15th to 13th in recent years. While current-year English Language Arts scores have not yet been released (expected in December), no conclusions should be drawn from this absence. For families in zip code 30339, Heards Ferry Elementary School represents a benchmark of educational excellence, combining elite academic outcomes, strong attendance, and robust resource allocation—though its success is likely supported by the socioeconomic advantages of its student body.
