Better than 19% of Georgia middle schools

Summary

Stewart Middle School in Douglasville, GA, serves approximately 533 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Douglas County School District, and it currently ranks in the bottom quartile of Georgia middle schools at the 19th percentile statewide.

For parents, the most important takeaway is that Stewart faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics. In the most recent testing cycle, only 7.5% of 6th graders scored proficient in math, compared to 40.7% statewide, and similar gaps appear in 7th and 8th grade math. Science and social studies proficiency rates also trail state averages by roughly 8 to 20 percentage points. Chronic absenteeism is another concern—25.3% of students miss significant instructional time, which is higher than both the district (22.1%) and state (17.7%) rates. That said, there are bright spots. Students in the Algebra I program achieved a 69.6% proficiency rate, dramatically outpacing the district average of 33.4%, and English Language Learner students rank at the 58th percentile statewide—the school's strongest subgroup performance. These strengths suggest that advanced coursework and targeted support for certain students are working well.

Compared to nearby schools, Stewart's performance is markedly lower than Mason Creek Middle School (71st percentile) and Chapel Hill Middle School (74th percentile), both just a few miles away. For example, Mason Creek's 6th grade math proficiency is 56.8% versus Stewart's 7.5%. However, Stewart is not alone in struggling—Factory Shoals Middle School, Turner Middle School, and Chestnut Log Middle School also rank in the bottom quartile. Notably, Stewart spends $15,239 per student—more than several better-performing nearby schools—yet outcomes remain low, suggesting that resource allocation alone isn't the answer. The school's ranking has stayed remarkably stable over the past decade, indicating systemic challenges rather than a recent decline.

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

My son goes to Stewart and he hates it, the kids are out of control and teachers and staffs really don't care. There main focus to me is the kids clothes and not there behavioral issues. Yes I know there not the students parent but if my child is in your care its the staff responsible to handle things..... This school needs a new make over starting from the top to the bottom. Its sad to see that a small school cant get under control.
Next year he will not attend Stewart :)!!!!!
If you are a parent and your wondering about this school "DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL" I know it's by the district, but if you can send your child somewhere else please do so. My niece went here two years ago and my sister hated it too, but since this was the only school at that time she had no other choice. Close Quote
