Summary

Austin Elementary School in Dunwoody, GA, is a PK-5 school serving 803 students in the DeKalb County School District, and it consistently ranks among the top 5% of elementary schools in Georgia.

Academically, Austin is a standout. In 2025-2026, math proficiency ranged from 79.2% to 84.9% across grades 3-5, which is roughly 45-50 percentage points above district averages and 35-40 points above state averages. Science proficiency hit 73.7%, more than double the district rate. While English Language Arts scores from 2024-2025 showed strong results (72-84% proficiency), the most recent ELA data will be released in December. The school’s state ranking slipped slightly from #12 to #46 this year, but it remains in the 96th percentile. Compared to nearby schools, Austin outperforms Chesnut Elementary School (34.2% 5th-grade math) and Cary Reynolds Elementary School (17.5%), and even edges out strong Fulton County neighbors like River Eves Elementary School (72.9%).

Attendance is another major strength. Austin’s chronic absenteeism rate is just 5.7%—nearly five times lower than the district rate (26.7%) and three times lower than the state rate (17.7%). This is better than most nearby schools, including Dunwoody Elementary School (13.4%) and Kingsley Elementary School (19.0%). Interestingly, Austin achieves these results while spending less per student ($16,662) than many comparable schools—Spalding Drive Elementary spends $23,504 and Dunwoody Springs Elementary School spends $18,872—yet Austin’s outcomes are far superior. The school also serves a predominantly affluent population, with only 4.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a factor that strongly correlates with high performance across the region. While Austin’s Asian student subgroup ranks lower relative to statewide peers, the school’s decade-long record of 5-star ratings makes it a reliable top choice for families.
