Many of the surrounding schools, such as Tara Elementary, James Jackson Elementary, and Pointe South Elementary, also struggle with low academic proficiency rates and low overall school rankings. However, Kay R Pace Elementary School of the Arts, which is also in the Clayton County district, has significantly higher academic proficiency rates than the other schools, suggesting that targeted interventions and programs can make a positive impact on student achievement.
