Summary:
Zip code 42729 has one listed school, Cub Run Elementary School, serving PK–8 with 213 students in Hart County. In 2025–2026, its matched-grade averages were about 40% proficient in Mathematics, 45% in Reading and 34% in Science, compared with about 42%, 51% and 34% statewide, respectively. Since it is the only listed school, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; the most important finding is that results vary sharply by grade, from a strong 6th-grade Mathematics result to a very weak 8th-grade result.
The clearest strengths were concentrated in 5th grade: 52% were proficient in Social Studies, 14 percentage points above the state’s 38%, and 61% in Editing and Mechanics, 13 points above the state’s 48%. Mathematics shows the widest contrast: 6th grade was 59%, 17 points above the state, while 8th grade was 12%, 27 points below; 4th-grade Mathematics was also 16 points below the state. Reading was 13 points below the state in 4th grade and 12 points below in 3rd grade, but 1 point above in 6th grade. These results show that the strongest outcomes do not extend evenly across grades.
Recent results are mixed rather than moving uniformly in one direction. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the matched-grade Mathematics average fell about 3 percentage points, while the state average fell about 1 point; Cub Run’s lead narrowed from about 4 points to about 2. Reading’s matched-grade average fell about 2 points as the state average rose about 1, leaving Cub Run about 5 points below the state. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 52nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 65th in 2024–2025, then fell to the 49th in 2025–2026; its rating changed from 3 stars in the first two years to 2 stars in the latest year. For context, the student-teacher ratio was 13.9 in 2024–2025, and 49% were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
