of 1,222 Georgia Elementary Schools

Better than 18% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Eastside Elementary School in Douglas, GA, serves approximately 575 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Coffee County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of Eastside's standout strengths is its attendance record. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 13.8% — dramatically better than the district average of 21.0% and the state average of 17.7%. In fact, Eastside has the second-lowest chronic absenteeism rate among all comparable area schools, and it has cut its rate nearly in half over four years, from 25.1% in 2021-2022. This is a remarkable achievement for a high-poverty school and suggests that students are consistently showing up ready to learn. The school also shows promise in science, with 5th grade proficiency jumping from 11.7% to 29% over two years — a 17-point improvement. Additionally, Eastside spends about $12,095 per student, the lowest among its peers, suggesting it operates efficiently with limited resources.

However, academic challenges remain, particularly in math. Proficiency rates decline sharply as students progress: 33.7% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, but that falls to 25.6% in 4th grade and just 17.4% in 5th grade — the lowest among all comparable schools. This "cliff" effect means students who start near average fall further behind by upper elementary. The contrast with Indian Creek Elementary, just three miles away, is striking: Indian Creek serves the same 100% free/reduced lunch population yet achieves 69% proficiency in 3rd grade math versus Eastside's 33.7%. Both schools have similar attendance rates, which suggests that school-level factors, not poverty or absenteeism, are driving the gap. Eastside's overall ranking has declined from the 61st percentile in 2015-2016 to the 18th percentile today, though recent years show signs of stabilization. English Language Arts scores for the current year will be released in December.
