Summary

North Douglas Elementary School in Douglasville, GA, serves approximately 537 students in grades PK-5 within the Douglas County School District, where about 88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

North Douglas is showing promising signs of improvement after several years of below-average performance. The school's statewide ranking jumped from the 28th percentile to the 36th percentile in 2025-2026—its strongest showing in nearly a decade. This momentum is especially visible in mathematics, where proficiency rates improved significantly across all grade levels. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency rose from 26.4% to 36.1%, and 5th grade jumped from 24.2% to 37.9%. One standout strength is the school's performance with its African American students, who ranked in the 71st percentile statewide—far exceeding the school's overall ranking. This suggests the school has developed effective approaches for a large portion of its student body. However, chronic absenteeism remains a concern, with 25.1% of students missing school regularly—higher than both the district (22.1%) and state (17.7%) averages. Science proficiency, while improved to 31%, still trails the state average of 44.2%.

Compared to nearby schools, North Douglas sits in the middle of the pack. Bright Star Elementary (2.5 miles away) ranks higher overall and posts stronger 4th grade math scores (51.1% vs. 36.9%). Mason Creek Elementary (4.16 miles) has shown remarkable improvement and leads in 5th grade science (50% vs. 31%). Meanwhile, Burnett Elementary (3.12 miles) serves a similar demographic but performs significantly worse, with proficiency rates in the low teens—highlighting that North Douglas's outcomes could be considerably weaker given its student population. With per-student spending at $14,663 and an improved student-teacher ratio of 14.3:1, the school has resources to build on. Whether this year's gains represent a true turning point will likely depend on addressing attendance while continuing academic momentum.
