Summary:
Zip code 31542 in Hoboken, Georgia, is served by a single school—Hoboken Elementary School—a mid-sized rural elementary school in the Brantley County district, enrolling 551 students in grades PK through 6.
Hoboken Elementary is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and ranking in the 75th–85th percentile statewide. Its strongest subject is mathematics, particularly in 6th grade, where 74.1% of students scored proficient in 2025–2026—nearly double the state average of 40.7%. The school also posted exceptional 5th-grade results in the most recent full testing year (2024–2025), with 78.8% proficiency in English Language Arts and 76.9% in Science, both far exceeding state averages. Chronic absenteeism (16.9%) is slightly better than both the district (18.1%) and state (17.7%), and the student-teacher ratio of 14.1:1 supports individualized attention.
The main concern is a sharp decline in 4th-grade math proficiency, which fell from 61.8% in 2024–2025 to 42.4% in 2025–2026—the only grade where the school dropped below the state average. This contributed to a slight ranking dip from the 85th to 75th percentile, though the school remains well above state norms in most areas. English Language Arts scores from 2024–2025 show a clear grade-level pattern, with 5th graders excelling (78.8%) but 6th graders dropping to 60.9%, suggesting a possible transition issue worth monitoring. With per-student spending of $13,576 and strong outcomes across multiple subjects, Hoboken Elementary is a solid educational choice for families in this area, though the 4th-grade math trend and upcoming ELA data release in December are worth watching.
