Summary

Factory Shoals Elementary School in Lithia Springs, GA, serves approximately 697 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Douglas County School District, and it has become a standout turnaround story in recent years.

The school has climbed an impressive 350 spots in statewide rankings over three years, moving from the 14th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 41st percentile today. The most dramatic gains are in math: 4th grade proficiency jumped from 24.7% to 49.4% in a single year—now nearly matching the state average and beating nearby Sweetwater Elementary (38.8%), Mount Carmel Elementary (37.4%), and New Manchester Elementary (41.5%). Fifth grade math has also soared from 3.9% to 32% proficiency, and science from 7.8% to 33.3%. The school is particularly effective with African American students, ranking in the 63rd percentile statewide for that group—a 3-star rating that outpaces its overall performance. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 33.1% to 25%, though it still exceeds the state rate of 17.7%.

While the school outperforms Sweetwater Elementary in every tested subject, it still trails Annette Winn Elementary in 5th grade math (32% vs. 41.8%) and has higher chronic absenteeism (25% vs. 16.8%). The school spends $15,374 per student—more than several nearby schools—but maintains a higher student-teacher ratio (16.2) than Beulah Elementary (12.5) or Annette Winn (13.1). With 87.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a high-poverty population, yet its steady academic climb suggests recent interventions are working. English Language Arts scores from the latest testing year will be released in December, so the full picture of this school's progress is still emerging.
