Summary

Satilla Elementary School in Douglas, GA, serves approximately 661 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Coffee County school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school currently ranks in the 25th percentile statewide, earning a 1-star rating, which places it in the lower tier of nearby elementary schools—ahead of Westside Elementary (23rd percentile) and Eastside Elementary (18th percentile), but well behind higher-performing peers like Indian Creek Elementary (61st percentile) and Ambrose Elementary (65th percentile).

Academically, Satilla trails state averages significantly in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.7% to 35.3% across grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 44-50%. Fifth-grade science (32.5%) also lags the state average (44.2%). The school has shown notable year-to-year volatility in test scores—for example, 3rd grade math proficiency swung from 15.7% to 35.3% in consecutive years—making it difficult to identify stable trends. Chronic absenteeism has improved steadily from 31.1% to 21.3% over four years, though it remains above the state average (17.7%) and much higher than at Pearson Elementary (11.4%) in Atkinson County. Notably, Pearson, which serves a similarly high-poverty population (86% free/reduced lunch), achieves dramatically better results—its 4th grade math proficiency (61.6%) is more than double Satilla's (28.7%)—suggesting that poverty alone doesn't determine outcomes.

Satilla spends about $12,522 per student, less than most nearby schools, and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (15.1:1) than peers like Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary (13.2:1). While the school's long-term ranking has remained in the bottom third over the past decade, the recent improvement in chronic absenteeism and a small uptick in overall percentile ranking (from 22nd to 25th) offer modest signs of progress. For parents, the key takeaway is that Satilla faces real challenges, but the success of demographically similar schools nearby suggests targeted efforts—especially around attendance and instructional consistency—could make a meaningful difference.
