New Manchester High School

Summary:

New Manchester High School is a public high school located in Douglasville, Georgia, serving 1,894 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Douglas County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 203 school districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($9,179 in 2018-2019), New Manchester High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 84.8% to 87.0% over the past 5 years, slightly below the state average. Proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are generally lower than the Douglas County and state averages across all subject areas, and have remained relatively stagnant or declined slightly over the past 5 years. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (59.5%) is significantly higher than nearby Alexander High School (41.2%) and Chapel Hill High School (48.1%), suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population that may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

Compared to its nearby counterparts, New Manchester High School's performance is generally lower than Alexander High School and Chapel Hill High School, which have higher statewide rankings, graduation rates, and test scores. However, New Manchester High School outperforms Lithia Springs Comprehensive High School and Douglas County High School in several metrics, suggesting the need for continued efforts to enhance instructional quality, student engagement, and resource utilization to drive improvements and better serve its student population.

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.
