Best Public Schools in Zip Code 30360

Summary:

The 30360 zip code in Georgia has only one school, Hightower Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the DeKalb County School District. Based on the available data, Hightower Elementary School appears to be a low-performing school, ranking between 1105-1190 out of 1244-1248 elementary schools in Georgia over the past three school years.

The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the county and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates range from 11.7% to 20.6% in Mathematics, 12.6% to 17% in English Language Arts, and 15.2% in Science. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 93.38% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high-need student population.

While the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,581, which is relatively high, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The school's low ranking and the low performance of its district (DeKalb County) suggest that Hightower Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.
