Summary

Evansdale Elementary School in Doraville, GA, serves approximately 504 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the DeKalb County School District, and currently holds a 2-star rating.

One of the most impressive things about Evansdale is its dramatic improvement in attendance. The chronic absenteeism rate has dropped from 22.5% in 2022-2023 to just 10.8% today—a remarkable 52% reduction. This is far better than the district average of 26.7% and the state average of 17.7%, and it also beats most nearby schools, including Pleasantdale Elementary (25.9%) and Hawthorne Elementary (24.3%). Strong attendance is a solid foundation for learning, and this is a clear strength for the school.

Academically, the picture is mixed. In 4th grade math, Evansdale shines with 50.7% proficiency—well above the district's 37.5% and right at the state average. This is the second-highest rate among nearby schools, trailing only Briarlake Elementary (62.3%) and Livsey Elementary (64.1%). However, there is a significant drop-off by 5th grade, where math proficiency falls to just 27.8%—the lowest of all grades tested and a 22.9-point decline from 4th grade. This is the largest such drop among comparable schools and is an area of concern. 5th grade science (36.6%) does beat the district average (30.4%) but trails the state (44.2%). While the school's overall ranking has slipped from a peak in 2023-2024, the strong attendance gains and the standout 4th grade performance suggest Evansdale has building blocks it can use to improve consistency across all grades.
