North Douglas Elementary School

Summary:

North Douglas Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 506 students in grades PK-5 in Douglasville, Georgia, which is part of the Douglas County school district. Despite higher spending and smaller class sizes, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past 10 years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Douglas Elementary struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the Douglas County and state averages on the Milestones Assessments. The school also serves a high-poverty student population, with 77-85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor likely plays a significant role in the school's performance, as nearby Winston Elementary consistently outperforms North Douglas Elementary despite being in the same district.

The data suggests that North Douglas Elementary could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and support services for students. Additionally, the school may need to explore ways to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population, such as through targeted interventions or partnerships with community organizations. With significant changes, North Douglas Elementary may be able to improve student outcomes and better serve the Douglasville community.

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.
