Better than 20% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Alice Coachman Elementary School in Albany, GA, serves 448 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Dougherty County school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most encouraging news is the school’s dramatic upward trend. After ranking in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for several years, Alice Coachman jumped to the 20th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year—a leap from the 9th percentile the year before. Its star rating also improved from 0 to 1 star. This progress stands out when compared to nearby West Town Elementary School, which has a similar student population but saw its ranking slip from the 11th to the 9th percentile over the same period. That contrast suggests Alice Coachman’s gains are the result of school-specific efforts, not just district-wide changes. Another bright spot is 5th-grade science: 39.1% of students are now proficient, nearly matching the district average (39.3%) and only about 5 points behind the state. This is a remarkable turnaround from just 9.1% proficiency two years ago. The school has also cut chronic absenteeism nearly in half over five years, from 39.7% to 21.8%—now below the district average of 24.4%.

However, challenges remain. Math proficiency is still roughly half the state average, and overall scores trail both district and state levels in most subjects. The data also reveals a significant gender gap: the school ranks in the 38th percentile for female students’ growth and performance (2-star rating) but only the 8th percentile for male students (0-star rating). Understanding what’s working for girls and applying those strategies to support boys could be a key lever for continued improvement. While Alice Coachman still has work ahead, the combination of rising rankings, a clear strength in science, and improving attendance suggests recent interventions are beginning to take hold.
