Summary

Eastside Elementary School in Douglasville, GA, serves approximately 433 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Douglas County School District, where the vast majority of families (over 91%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Eastside faces significant academic challenges, with math proficiency rates in 2025-2026 ranging from 19.5% in 3rd grade to 28.4% in 4th grade—well below district averages of roughly 40-44%. Science proficiency in 5th grade (22.7%) is also about half the state average. However, there are encouraging signs: math scores have improved notably over the past two years, with 4th grade jumping from 12.8% to 28.4% proficiency. The school also outperforms its closest neighbor, Burnett Elementary School, which sits just 0.12 miles away and serves a similarly high-poverty population—Eastside beats Burnett in every subject and grade tested, including 27.2% vs. 16.7% in 5th grade math. That said, Eastside trails other nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Sweetwater Elementary School and North Douglas Elementary School, in most categories.

One of the biggest barriers to improvement is chronic absenteeism: 25.2% of students miss significant school time, more than double the rate at Arbor Station Elementary School (11.8%) and nearly triple that of Brighten Academy (9.3%). Schools with lower absenteeism in the area consistently outperform Eastside academically. The school spends a substantial $15,333 per student—about 15% above the district average for comparable schools—yet outcomes remain below peers, suggesting that how resources are used may matter as much as how much is spent. For parents considering Eastside, the school offers a dedicated staff and some recent math gains, but attendance and science instruction will be critical areas to watch.
