GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We moved to Chapel Hill 2 years ago and weren't sure what to expect from McDougle Elementary. We now have 2 kids there and couldn't be happier with the teachers and staff. Any concerns we have had were handled appropriately. I feel very fortunate to have our kids at McDougle!
