Summary

New Manchester High School in Douglasville, GA, serves approximately 1,894 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Douglas County School District. The school has made significant strides this year, climbing from the 41st to the 57th percentile statewide and earning its first 3-star rating in recent history—a jump of 71 positions that signals real momentum.

One of the school’s standout strengths is its performance in Biology, where 49.3% of students scored proficient—beating both the district (39.3%) and state (47.2%) averages, and outpacing nearby Alexander High School (39.1%), Chapel Hill High School (34.5%), and Lithia Springs Comprehensive High School (23.3%). Algebra I has also seen dramatic improvement, jumping from just 10.7% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 40.5% in 2025–2026—a nearly fourfold increase. The graduation rate rose to 89.3%, above the state average of 87.2%, and the dropout rate fell to 1.8%, below both district and state averages. The school also ranks in the 76th percentile statewide for its African American students and the 63rd percentile for Multi-racial students, showing strong results for these groups.

Despite these gains, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge at 27.2%, well above the district (22.1%) and state (17.7%) averages, though it has improved from 36.6% two years ago. Compared to peers, New Manchester outperforms Lithia Springs across nearly every metric and is competitive with Langston Hughes High School and Westlake High School in Fulton County, despite spending less per student ($11,925 vs. $15,000+). With continued focus on attendance and math support, New Manchester appears well-positioned to build on its upward trajectory.
