Hartley Elementary School

Hartley Elementary sits in Macon, a city with deep musical roots and a strong sense of Southern community pride, but families considering it should know that academic performance here lags well behind state averages in English and Math. The school's relatively stronger showing in Science suggests there may be pockets of solid instruction worth building on, and for families already rooted in the neighborhood, that local connection can matter just as much as rankings. Parents who choose Hartley will likely want to stay closely involved in their child's learning and explore supplemental support to help bridge the gaps.
