Summary:
The Douglas County school district in Georgia is home to 5 high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. These schools include New Manchester High School, Douglas County High School, Alexander High School, Chapel Hill High School, and Lithia Springs Comprehensive High School.
Among these schools, Alexander High School and Chapel Hill High School stand out as the top performers. Alexander High consistently ranks in the top 200 high schools in Georgia and has the highest test scores across the Milestones Assessments. Chapel Hill High has also maintained a top 250 statewide ranking and has strong performance, particularly in American Literature and Composition. In contrast, Lithia Springs Comprehensive High School lags behind the district and state averages on test scores.
While the Douglas County school district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state averages on the Milestones Assessments, all 5 high schools maintain a consistent 85.4% 4-year graduation rate. However, there is a significant range in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 56% at Alexander and Chapel Hill to over 80% at Lithia Springs Comprehensive. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios also vary across the schools, but do not seem to be clear indicators of academic performance.
