Better than 23% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Westside Elementary School in Douglas, GA, serves approximately 625 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Coffee County school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Westside has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, falling from the 61st percentile in 2015-2016 to the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026, placing it in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools. Mathematics proficiency rates are well below district and state averages across all grade levels—for example, only 26.4% of 3rd graders and 23.8% of 5th graders are proficient in math, compared to state averages of 48.3% and 44.1%, respectively. The school's performance has been volatile year to year, with 3rd-grade math swinging from 52.3% proficiency in 2022-2023 down to 26.4% in 2025-2026. However, there is a bright spot: 5th-grade science proficiency (40%) actually exceeds the district average (39.2%) and approaches the state average (44.2%). Chronic absenteeism has improved meaningfully, dropping from 25.7% in 2022-2023 to 19.9% in 2025-2026, now better than several nearby schools.

The contrast with Indian Creek Elementary, located less than 2 miles away, is striking—both serve 100% free/reduced lunch populations, yet Indian Creek ranks in the 61st percentile with 3rd-grade math proficiency near 69%, nearly triple Westside's rate. This suggests poverty alone doesn't determine outcomes. Westside has invested in resources, increasing per-student spending from $11,721 to $13,392 over four years and improving the student-teacher ratio to 13.5:1, yet outcomes have declined. Subgroup performance shows particular challenges for White students (9th percentile), female students (15th percentile), and special education students (15th percentile), while Hispanic students perform relatively better at the 39th percentile. With improving attendance and a relative strength in science, Westside appears at a crossroads where targeted math interventions and support for specific student groups could help reverse the current trajectory.
