Doerun Elementary School consistently underperforms the Colquitt County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment, with only 21.7% of 3rd graders, 24.4% of 4th graders, and 29.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2% at the state level, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 1031 out of 1248 schools in 2023-2024, and consistently receives a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Doerun Elementary School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.76% to 97.15% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Doerun Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Colquitt County district, such as Hamilton Elementary and Wright Elementary, Doerun consistently underperforms on test scores and school rankings. This suggests that economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high rates of free or reduced-price lunch, may be a significant factor contributing to the overall lower academic performance observed across the area. Additionally, the relatively low spending per student at Doerun Elementary School, compared to the higher-performing nearby schools, may also be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
