Summary

Yeager Middle School in Douglasville, GA, serves 529 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Douglas County School District, where about 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has held a steady 2-star rating for the past decade, currently ranking 349th out of 578 Georgia middle schools (40th percentile). Per-student spending has risen to $13,525, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1 is notably better than several higher-ranked nearby schools like Fairplay Middle School (17.7:1) and Chapel Hill Middle School (17.5:1).

The school's standout strength is Algebra I: 83.4% of Yeager students scored proficient or above on the End of Course assessment, compared to just 47.3% district-wide and 48.1% statewide—a remarkable 35-point advantage. This exceeds results at Factory Shoals Middle School (66.7%) and Chestnut Log Middle School (70.8%). Yeager also posts strong science scores, matching the state average (29.3%) and beating Turner Middle School (20.7%) and Factory Shoals (19.6%). However, grade-level math proficiency lags significantly—6th grade (23.1%) and 8th grade (30%) both sit roughly 16-17 points below state averages—suggesting the school excels at accelerating its strongest math students while struggling with standard grade-level instruction.

Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 36.2% in 2021-2022 to 20.6% now, which is below the district average (22.1%). Yeager also shows notably strong outcomes for its African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the 51st and 55th percentiles statewide respectively—both above the school's overall 40th percentile. The school outperforms lower-tier neighbors like Stewart Middle School and Turner Middle School (both 1-star) but trails the 4-star cluster of Fairplay, Mason Creek Middle School, and Chapel Hill. With improving attendance and exceptional advanced math results, targeted support in grade-level math could meaningfully boost Yeager's overall ranking.
