Summary

Chapel Hill Middle School in Douglasville, GA, serves approximately 1,036 students in grades 6–8 within the Douglas County School District, and it has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top third of Georgia middle schools (71st percentile statewide).

The school’s standout strength is its Algebra I program. In the most recent testing year, 100% of Chapel Hill students taking the Algebra I End of Course assessment scored proficient or better—a remarkable 52-point advantage over both the district (47.3%) and state (48.1%) averages. This isn’t a one-year fluke; the school has maintained near-perfect proficiency rates for four straight years (94% to 100%). Chapel Hill also excels in 8th grade math (51% proficient vs. 33% district-wide) and 8th grade science (46.9% proficient vs. 29.7% statewide). The school is particularly effective with its African American students, ranking in the top 11% of all Georgia schools serving this demographic. It also outperforms several nearby schools, including Turner Middle School and Stewart Middle School, which rank in the bottom third statewide. Chapel Hill’s chronic absenteeism rate (19.2%) is better than the district average (22.1%), though slightly above the state average (17.7%).

Chapel Hill achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,052) than many lower-performing schools in the area—for example, Mason Creek Middle School spends $14,826 per student and Factory Shoals Middle School spends more yet ranks far lower. The school sits in a clear upper tier of Douglas County middle schools alongside Fairplay Middle School and Mason Creek, while other county schools like Yeager Middle School and Chestnut Log Middle School lag significantly behind. Compared to out-of-district options, Chapel Hill outranks J. A. Dobbins Middle School (Paulding County), Sandtown Middle School, and Renaissance Middle School (both Fulton County). While there is room for growth in serving White students and male students, Chapel Hill’s consistent math and science performance, efficient spending, and strong results with a diverse student body make it one of the most reliable middle school choices in the Douglasville area.

Open Quote My oldest child attended CHMS a few years ago as she graduated 2 years ago and I truly believe that this school really gave her a great foundation on what to expect in high school as an AP student. She was truly tested on a daily basis and all students were held to their code of conduct. My son is now in the 8th grade and being challenged each and every day and I truly love it coming off a year out of school due to Covid. I feel that you cannot go wrong choosing CHMS for your children - it might not be right for everyone but it was excellent for my kids. Close Quote
