Summary:
The city of Douglas, Georgia is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some schools consistently outperforming others.
Indian Creek Elementary stands out as one of the higher-performing elementary schools, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on standardized tests. Meanwhile, Eastside Elementary and Satilla Elementary have much lower proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics. At the high school level, Wiregrass Regional College and Career Academy stands out for its strong performance on Algebra I exams, while Coffee County High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate.
The data also suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students generally performing worse than their peers. However, the district as a whole has room for improvement, as evidenced by the wide range of SchoolDigger ratings, from 1 to 4 stars. By identifying and replicating the practices of the highest-performing schools, the Coffee County district could potentially raise the overall level of academic achievement for all students.
