Hendricks Elementary School

Q: Is Hendricks Elementary School a good school?

Hendricks Elementary School ranks 621 st of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hendricks Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Powder Springs, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 502 students. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hendricks Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed compared to the Cobb County and Georgia averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were generally lower than the district and state averages across grades 3-5. For example, in 5th grade ELA, Hendricks Elementary had a 48.6% proficiency rate, compared to 57.9% for Cobb County and 48.2% for Georgia. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with some improvements in certain grades and subjects, but overall, it has struggled to match the district and state averages. The nearby Sanders Elementary, Clarkdale Elementary, Compton Elementary, and Powder Springs Elementary schools generally perform better than Hendricks Elementary on the Milestones Assessment.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Hendricks Elementary School, ranging from 70.51% to 73.71% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to the school's relatively lower academic performance. The school's fluctuating performance and ranking over the years suggest that there may be ongoing challenges or changes within the school that are impacting student outcomes. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions and support for students, particularly in the areas of ELA and Mathematics, could help Hendricks Elementary School enhance its academic outcomes and better align with the performance of its higher-achieving peers in the Cobb County School District.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
