Summary

Mason Creek Elementary School in Winston, GA, serves approximately 513 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Douglas County School District, and has climbed to the 54th percentile statewide in 2025-2026 after a strong rebound from a dip the previous year.

One of the school's biggest strengths is science. In 2025-2026, 50% of 5th graders scored proficient, well above the district (36.9%) and state (44.2%) averages—and in the prior year, that number jumped to 64.6%, far outpacing every nearby school. Mason Creek also stands out for its African American students, who rank in the 76th percentile statewide (4 stars), a remarkable achievement. The school keeps chronic absenteeism low at 14.1%, compared to the district's 22.1%, and maintains a favorable 12.6:1 student-teacher ratio, among the best in the area. With per-student spending of $18,009, it invests significantly more than most neighbors like Chapel Hill Elementary School ($11,469) or Dorsett Shoals Elementary School ($14,730), though its overall ranking is only modestly higher than some lower-spending peers.

There are areas to watch. Female students perform in the 70th percentile, while male students sit at just the 35th percentile—a 35-point gap that suggests room for improvement in engaging boys. White students rank in the 19th percentile, a contrast to the strong results for African American students. Math scores vary by grade level: 5th graders excelled in 2025-2026 (44.5% proficient), but 4th graders lagged (40% vs. 44% district). The school's ELA scores from 2024-2025 were promising, especially in 5th grade (53.1% proficient vs. 43% state), though current-year ELA data will be released in December. Overall, Mason Creek outperforms most nearby Douglas County elementaries, with science proficiency far exceeding all of them, and its consistent attendance practices offer a model for the district.

This school is utterly ridiculous. I have never heard of an elementary school that punishes children for talking at lunch, let white children bully black children and refuse to put it on record after several different incidents and me going to the principal to have meetings at the school, they punish all kids in the class if 1 child is misbehaving and take away recess, they have racist teachers that allow certain privileges for "certain" students.... and the principal let's her front office staff disrespect parents and threaten to send kids home on the bus when they are aware that your child needs to be ASP, knowing that their ASP payment system having issues. VERY DISSATISFIED. If you are of a certain color, I suggest you really do your research before you enroll your child in this school. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover. I waited a few months to do this review so that I could give them an opportunity to treat my family like tax paying citizens..... However, nothing has changed. Hopefully I can give a better review as the year progresses. But over the past few months....this entire experience with MASON CREEK elementary has been a total nightmare. I have never experienced this at a Cobb County School. I will be returning to Cobb County once this year is over. I do not want to risk my 4 year old experiencing what my 10 year old has to endure.

The principal, Mrs. French is an extremely strong, motivated & hard working principal, who REALLY LOVES ALL HER STUDENTS AND LOVES GREAT PARENTS! She has won a number of Google grants and other resources to help provide needed technology and other programs to Mason Creek Elementary to make the school well rounded and on pace for what our children will need in the future(and now😃). I even felt love for students from media center, cafeterua staff & custodians!
My son had terrific teachers during his 3rd through 5th grade years and they all made it easy to communicate with them. I sent my highly, gifted child there because they were the 1st elementary school in Douglas County, Ga to have a Robotics club and competitive team for 4th & 5th graders. A team that in it's 2nd year my son would be one of the 2 students, specifically, whom programmed the EV3 robot the team used to win 3 trophies over 15-30 of the states' middle school, aged teams!!! Though, outside of academics the spirits of FUN, INCLUSIVENESS, SAFETY, DIVERSITY & SHARING & LOVE FOR CHILDREN ARE FELT throughout the school😁! There are events and activities to develop character & cross-cultural education/enrichment, along with sensitvity(i.e. having pep rally for special-needs or challenged students participating in Special Olympics😀). This year one of those grants I mentioned, allowed all students (k-5, I believe?) have STEM as a regular, weekly class! This school deserves even higher ranking😁! Close Quote

Mason Creek Elementary is a very nurturing school, from the time you walk in the door you are greeted and shown where and what to do, how you can help by mentoring and its a all around educational oriented place where your children feel safe. They have a great core based curriculum, and they start at such an early age that they can only succeed, succeed, succeed! Close Quote
