Summary

Stone Mill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stone Mountain, Georgia, serving 562 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 districts in the state.

Despite increased spending per student, Stone Mill Elementary consistently underperforms academically compared to the Allgood Elementary School and the state and county averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 10.2% of 3rd graders, 8.6% of 4th graders, and 20.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, far below the county and state levels. Over the past 10 years, the school has ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent year.

The school's 100% free and reduced lunch rate indicates that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. However, simply increasing funding has not led to meaningful improvements, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by Stone Mill Elementary School and its student population.

My Son has been unfairly treated for 3years at this school. Unfortunately Stone mill is the Only school Zoned for hundreds of Children that haven't gotten the best Education as Others. My son came home and informed me his Teacher Tore his Homework up. And the Principal didn't think he Deserves an apology or disapline actions against the teacher. He has been Counted Absent when present 33times. Also My Neighbor's daughter asked her teacher for permission to go to the bathroom and was Denied. So she had an accident in the chair after she started her Menstrual cycle in the classroom. I'm beyond disappointed at Stone mill. PLEASE HELP US!! Close Quote
