Summary

Mount Carmel Elementary School is a public elementary school in Douglasville, Georgia, serving 453 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Douglas County School District.

Academically, Mount Carmel Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Douglas County and Georgia state averages on Milestones Assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.8% of 3rd graders at Mount Carmel were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.1% in Douglas County and 34.9% statewide. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 460 out of 1,233 Georgia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 875 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 73.27% to 81.9% in recent years, may be a significant factor contributing to these academic challenges.

The nearby schools also have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more diverse socioeconomic population.

We love this school. The entire staff really loves the children. Close Quote

My children have attended two different elementary schools in Douglas county and by far Mt. Carmel Elementary is top notch. I have also volunteered many hours to both schools and find that Mt.Carmel teachers are more devoted to my children education, better at corresponding with parents, and more involved in teaching than worrying about disciplining. Children get constant encouragement to make the right decisions and expectations are always high. My son is running for vice-president of student counsel and prior to attending Mt. Carmel we never thought him to be the type. Mt. Carmel is #1 is our book and CRCT scores prove that. Close Quote
