Summary

Mirror Lake Elementary School in Villa Rica, GA, serves approximately 554 students in grades PK-5 as part of Douglas County Schools, with about 68% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

One of the school's clearest strengths is attendance. Mirror Lake's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.2% is dramatically better than the district average of 22.1% and the state average of 17.7%. This means students are showing up to class consistently—a strong foundation that many nearby schools lack. For example, North Douglas Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.1%, and Bright Star Elementary sits at 18.6%. However, attendance success hasn't translated into academic gains. The school's statewide ranking has fallen significantly over the past decade, from the 85th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 30th percentile in 2025-2026. In math, proficiency rates trail state averages across all grade levels—for instance, 4th grade math proficiency is 32.4% compared to the state's 50.1%. Science scores also dropped sharply recently, from 48.9% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 30% in 2025-2026.

Perhaps the most concerning area is special education. Mirror Lake ranks in the 5th percentile statewide for special education students, earning zero stars, which suggests significant challenges in serving this population. The school spends $14,289 per student—less than nearby schools like Winston Elementary ($18,011) or New Georgia Elementary ($17,638)—and has the highest student-teacher ratio (17.8) among comparison schools. There was a bright spot in 2024-2025 when 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency (47.7%) exceeded both district and state averages, but that success hasn't been replicated across other subjects or grade levels. Compared to peers, Mirror Lake ranks below Mason Creek Elementary (555th) and Bill Arp Elementary (759th), while Ithica Elementary (338th) and Villa Rica Elementary (503rd) outperform it. The school's strong attendance record suggests families are engaged, but academic outcomes indicate a need for targeted instructional support.
