Summary

Edmonds Elementary School in Forest Park, GA, serves approximately 426 students in grades PK-5 as part of Clayton County Public Schools, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Edmonds Elementary currently ranks in the 5th percentile statewide, earning zero stars for the 2025-2026 school year. The most pressing challenge is chronic absenteeism: 38.9% of students are chronically absent—more than double the state average of 17.7% and the highest among nearby schools. For comparison, Unidos Dual Language School, located just 1.22 miles away and serving a similar demographic, has only a 9.6% chronic absenteeism rate and ranks in the 67th percentile. This stark contrast suggests that school-level factors like attendance initiatives and school culture can make a significant difference. Math proficiency is also well below state averages, with only 10.9% of 3rd graders proficient compared to 48.3% statewide. However, there are signs of progress in upper grades—in 2024-2025, 5th graders outperformed the district average in both math (29.9% vs. 20.7%) and science (31.2% vs. 22.7%), suggesting the school may be building momentum as students advance.

Despite spending $17,827 per student—more than Lake City Elementary ($16,751) and Huie Elementary ($17,142)—those schools achieve better outcomes, with Lake City ranking in the 29th percentile. Even Utopian Academy for the Arts Elementary School, which spends more than double per student ($37,621), achieves similar results. This suggests that additional resources alone won't drive improvement without addressing the attendance crisis. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1 provides a solid foundation, but tackling chronic absenteeism appears to be the highest-leverage intervention for reversing the school's long-term trajectory.

I was very unhappy there after 2010 when a new principal came, promising to take the school from good to great. Close Quote
