Q: Is Hambrick Elementary School a good school?

Hambrick Elementary School ranks 902 nd of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Hambrick Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stone Mountain, Georgia, serving 491 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 138 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hambrick Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 866-1165 out of 1,200-1,250 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the Milestones Assessment is significantly below the state and county averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 22.5% to 36.3%, compared to the state average of 37% to 48.2%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates at Hambrick Elementary were 21.3% to 35.5%, compared to the state average of 41% to 48.1%. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.18% to 100% over the past three school years.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,472 to $12,700, and the low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 13 students per teacher, Hambrick Elementary's academic performance remains significantly below state and county averages. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's low performance, as the nearby schools, while also serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, generally perform better on the Milestones Assessment.

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.
