State Specialty Schools II- DeKalb Brilliance Academy

The State Specialty Schools II- DeKalb Brilliance Academy district contains a single elementary public charter school, DeKalb Brilliance Academy, serving grades K-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency, it also faces significant challenges, particularly in mathematics performance.

DeKalb Brilliance Academy has a student enrollment of 255 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1. The school's district rank is 102 out of 206 districts in Georgia, with a 3-star rating, while its statewide rank is 653 out of 1,238 elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. Proficiency rates at the school are mixed, with 3rd grade ELA at 37% (vs. state 34.9%) but 3rd grade Math at 32.6% (vs. state 44.3%) and 4th grade Math at 38.6% (vs. state 49%).

The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 83.92% indicates that it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which can present unique challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation. While the school has some bright spots, such as its 3rd grade ELA performance, the overall data suggests that DeKalb Brilliance Academy is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in Georgia and may require targeted interventions and support to improve its academic outcomes.
