Summary

Chapel Hill Elementary School in Douglasville, GA, serves approximately 620 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Douglas County School District. The school has seen its overall state ranking decline over the past decade, dropping from the 70th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, with the most significant fall occurring between 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. About 69% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 58% just a few years ago, and the school spends approximately $11,469 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1.

One of the school's clearest strengths is its consistently low chronic absenteeism rate. In the 2025-2026 school year, only 14.7% of students were chronically absent, compared to 22.1% for the district and 17.7% statewide. This is notably better than nearby Burnett Elementary School (27.7%) and Eastside Elementary School (25.2%). Chapel Hill also shows strong results for its African American students, who ranked in the 64th percentile statewide—well above the school's overall ranking. In math, 3rd grade proficiency improved to 39.6%, matching the district average, though 4th and 5th grade math lag behind. Science is a growing concern: 5th grade proficiency fell from 40.7% in 2023-2024 to 29.6% in 2025-2026, now well below both the district (36.9%) and state (44.2%).

Compared to nearby schools, Chapel Hill sits in the middle tier. It outperforms Bill Arp Elementary School and Arbor Station Elementary School (both at the 38th percentile) but trails Holly Springs Elementary School (78th percentile), which is just 1.34 miles away and outperforms Chapel Hill in every subject. Notably, Chapel Hill spends less per student than several lower-performing peers, suggesting efficient resource use. The school also has a strong foundation to build on: its low absenteeism, effective support for African American students, and improving 3rd grade math all point to strategies that could be replicated across other grade levels and subjects.
