Summary

Holly Springs Elementary School in Douglasville, GA, serves 473 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and stands out as a top academic performer within the Douglas County district, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 78th percentile statewide.

This school is a clear academic leader compared to its neighbors. In 3rd grade math, 61.9% of Holly Springs students are proficient, compared to just 42.3% at the next closest school, Bright Star Elementary School, and only 19.5% at Eastside Elementary School. Science is a standout subject, with 65.1% of 5th graders proficient—more than 28 points above the district average and more than triple the rate at Brighten Academy. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $13,740 per student, which is less than many lower-performing nearby schools like Bill Arp Elementary School ($14,908) and Dorsett Shoals Elementary School ($14,730).

Attendance is another major strength. Only 7.9% of students are chronically absent, less than half the district average of 22.1% and far better than New Manchester Elementary School (17.3%) or Chapel Hill Elementary School (14.7%). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1 and strong outcomes for African American students (ranking in the top 7% statewide), Holly Springs demonstrates that consistent attendance, efficient resource use, and effective instruction can produce excellent results even while serving a student body where nearly 58% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
