Summary

Chapel Hill High School is a comprehensive public high school in Douglasville, GA, serving 1,646 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Douglas County School District. The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 45th percentile statewide, with about 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most impressive story at Chapel Hill is its graduation rate. At 94.6% for 2024-2025, the school outperforms both the district (90.7%) and state (87.2%) averages by wide margins—and it has stayed above 92% for five straight years. This is the highest graduation rate among all Douglas County high schools, beating Douglas County High School and New Manchester High School, and it's nearly 13 points higher than Lithia Springs Comprehensive High School (81.9%). Dropout rates are also consistently low at 1.5%, below both district and state averages. In math, Chapel Hill has shown dramatic improvement: Algebra I proficiency jumped from 17.8% in 2022-2023 to 54.2% in 2025-2026—now the highest among all Douglas County high schools and above state averages. The school also spends less per student ($11,303) than most nearby schools while achieving these results, suggesting efficient use of resources.

There are areas for growth. Chronic absenteeism sits at 24.7%, above the state average of 17.7%, though it's far better than nearby schools like Lithia Springs (48.8%) and Langston Hughes High School (48.4%). Biology (34.5% proficient) and U.S. History (25.3%) trail state averages, and the school's overall state ranking has slipped from the 53rd to 45th percentile over five years—a period during which the student population has become more economically diverse. Note that current English Language Arts scores are not yet available; they will be released in December. Chapel Hill's prior American Literature scores, however, consistently exceeded district and state averages. The school's ability to keep students on track to graduate while improving math outcomes makes it a solid choice, especially for families prioritizing graduation success.

Open Quote Chapel Hill's administration is excellent. The principal and asst principal's truly care about the students, have high expectations of the students because they care, but also are relational with the students. Chapel Hill has a JROTC program that is excellent as well and I'd recommend any student going to the school be a part of this program as it encourages the students to be leaders in their schools, communities, etc. The only thing I don't like about Chapel Hill is that over the years we have gotten a lot of kids in the county who, along with their parents, just don't really care about education and my daughter has told me of some of the difficulties the teachers struggle with as far as disrespect from some of the students. The school is very diverse and the kids all seem to get along well with each other. There aren't any racial tensions here. Overall, I really like Chapel Hill, believe it has been an excellent school for my daughter, and it is my top choice of high schools in Douglas County. Close Quote
