Chapel Hill Elementary School

Q: Is Chapel Hill Elementary School a good school?

Chapel Hill Elementary School ranks 760 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Chapel Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Douglasville, Georgia, serving 649 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.

While Chapel Hill Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 50-58% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, its academic performance lags behind both the district and state averages. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the Douglas County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Chapel Hill's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 307 out of 1,240 Georgia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 760 out of 1,248 in the current 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Brighten Academy, a public charter school located just 3.7 miles away, Chapel Hill Elementary consistently underperforms in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.

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.
