Covington-Douglas has two schools: Covington-Douglas Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8, and Covington-Douglas High School, serving grades 9–12. Together, they serve a small community, with enrollments of 146 and 83 students, respectively. The clearest difference is mathematics: in 2025–2026, elementary proficiency was 48%, well above the state’s 25%, while high school proficiency was 17%, below the state. This split between a strong elementary result and a high-school math weakness is the most important finding for families comparing the schools.

SchoolDigger’s high-school ranking rose from the 54th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 70th in 2025–2026; elementary’s historical rankings vary, from the 19th percentile in 2014–2015 to the 71st in 2020–2021. The schools have similar student-teacher ratios, 10.9 at elementary and 10.8 at high school, and similar shares of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025: 59% and 62%, respectively. These all-grades scores combine different grade spans, so they are not a direct grade-for-grade comparison.
