Summary

Doerun Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Doerun, Georgia, with 258 students enrolled. The school is part of the Colquitt County School District, which is ranked 101 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Colquitt County district, Doerun Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years. Its statewide ranking has ranged from 914 out of 1,238 schools to 962 out of 1,209 schools during this period. Doerun Elementary's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are significantly below the Colquitt County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 34.9% statewide. The school also has extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a very high-poverty student population.

Doerun Elementary's performance lags significantly behind other elementary schools in the Colquitt County district, such as Norman Park Elementary and Hamilton Elementary, which have much higher proficiency rates and state rankings. Despite the school's long-standing struggles, the data indicates that there is room for improvement, as Doerun Elementary's 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 31.8% in 2024-2025 is closer to the state average. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach focused on increasing resources, improving instructional quality, and providing targeted support to students and teachers.
