Summary

Connie Dugan Elementary School in Douglasville, GA, serves approximately 647 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Paulding County School District, sitting near the borders of Paulding, Douglas, and Carroll counties.

Connie Dugan has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from a 1-star rating in 2016-2017 to its current 2-star status, ranking #645 out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools. The school's standout strength is its work with African American students, where it ranks in the 63rd percentile statewide—notably stronger than its overall performance. Another bright spot is 4th grade math, where 53.7% of students met proficiency, beating both the district (49.5%) and state (50.1%) averages. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism remarkably low at 13.6%, well below the district's 16.8% and state's 17.7%, despite serving a population where 64% qualify for free or reduced lunch. Per-student spending has risen to $15,659, with a favorable 12.6:1 student-teacher ratio.

The most concerning pattern is a consistent "5th grade cliff." While 4th graders perform at or above district averages, 5th grade math proficiency drops to just 33.3% (versus 42.9% district and 44.1% state), and science falls to 25.2% (versus 36.8% district and 44.2% state). This gap has persisted for multiple years, suggesting a transition challenge. Nearby Hal Hutchens Elementary outperforms Connie Dugan in 5th grade math (44.7%) and science (36.6%) despite a higher poverty rate, while Mason Creek Elementary in Douglas County also posts stronger 5th grade results. Special education students rank in the 18th percentile statewide, representing a key area for growth. With strong early-grade instruction, excellent attendance, and improving overall rankings, Connie Dugan appears poised to build on its momentum—if it can solve the upper-grade challenge.
