Beulah Elementary School

Q: Is Beulah Elementary School a good school?

Beulah Elementary School ranks 794 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Beulah Elementary School is a public elementary school in Douglasville, Georgia, serving 453 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Douglas County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beulah Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 550 and 1122 over the past 10 years and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores on the Milestones Assessment are generally below the Douglas County and Georgia averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 27.7% to 33.3%, compared to 30.4% to 42.5% for Douglas County and 37% to 48.2% for Georgia. Beulah Elementary School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.36% to 75.06% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Beulah Elementary School to the nearby schools in the Douglas County district, it becomes clear that Beulah is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. For example, Brighten Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Beulah on test scores, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high poverty rates and the persistent nature of Beulah Elementary School's underperformance suggest that the school may be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address.

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.
