Better than 14% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Redan Elementary School in Lithonia, GA, serves approximately 525 students in grades PK-5 within the DeKalb County school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown meaningful progress over the past several years, climbing from the 2nd percentile statewide in 2018-2019 to its current 14th percentile ranking—a steady upward trend, though it still places in the bottom quintile of Georgia schools.

Redan's strongest academic area is 3rd grade math, where 32.2% of students scored proficient—nearly matching the district average of 35.9% and dramatically outperforming several nearby schools like Stoneview Elementary (6.6%), Panola Way Elementary (11.1%), and Princeton Elementary (19.2%). The school also excels in 5th grade science, with 27% proficiency—higher than most neighbors including Eldridge L. Miller Elementary (20.5%), Rock Chapel Elementary (12.7%), and Pine Ridge Elementary (14.9%). However, math proficiency declines sharply as students advance, dropping from 32.2% in 3rd grade to 16.8% by 5th grade—a steeper decline than the district average. Chronic absenteeism stands at 28.2%, above the state rate of 17.7% but better than several nearby schools, including Stoneview (44.1%) and Panola Way (35.9%).

Redan spends $19,141 per student—among the highest in its comparison group—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1. The school has shown remarkable improvement in early-grade math, with 3rd grade proficiency jumping from 8.5% in 2023-2024 to 32.2% today. While Wynbrooke Elementary, just 3.25 miles away, achieves significantly higher scores with a much lower absenteeism rate (7.6%), Redan outperforms most of its immediate geographic neighbors and appears to be building momentum through targeted early-grade interventions.
