Summary

DeKalb PATH Academy Charter School is a middle school located in Brookhaven, Georgia, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 368 students. It is a public charter school within the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

DeKalb PATH Academy Charter School consistently outperforms the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages in several key test score metrics, including Algebra I End of Course, 8th Grade Math, and 8th Grade English Language Arts. However, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the years, from a high of 166 out of 539 Georgia middle schools and a 3-star rating in 2016-2017 to a ranking of 371 out of 584 and a 2-star rating in 2024-2025. This suggests the school's performance has declined relative to other middle schools in the state.

While DeKalb PATH Academy outperforms the DeKalb County and Georgia averages in some test score metrics, it generally lags behind the nearby schools in the DeKalb County district, such as Tucker Middle School and Henderson Middle School, as well as the high-performing Beacon Hill Middle School in the City Schools of Decatur district and Chamblee Middle School in the DeKalb County district. Additionally, DeKalb PATH Academy's very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the school's lower performance compared to nearby schools with lower poverty rates.
