Summary

Chamblee High School in Chamblee, GA, is a large public high school serving 1,867 students in grades 9-12 within the DeKalb County School District, and it consistently ranks among the top 20% of high schools statewide.

Chamblee stands out as a clear academic leader in northeast DeKalb County. While the school ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide, nearby district peers lag significantly: Dunwoody High School sits at the 55th percentile, Lakeside High School at the 47th, and Cross Keys High School at the 48th. The school's Biology performance is exceptional—63.9% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, exceeding the state average by 16.7 points and outpacing even Paul Duke STEM High School in Gwinnett County (47%). Chamblee also boasts a notably low chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0%, compared to 33.0% at Dunwoody and 31.3% at Lakeside. The graduation rate of 88.0% exceeds both the district (81.4%) and state (87.2%) averages, and the school has improved steadily from 83.7% in 2022-2023.

Chamblee's main challenge is Algebra I, where 49.6% proficiency barely exceeds the state average (48.1%)—a stark contrast to its strong Biology and American Literature scores. The school also shows achievement gaps among Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who rank in the 30th and 42nd percentiles respectively. Despite these areas for growth, Chamblee achieves superior outcomes with efficient spending ($17,226 per student) compared to lower-performing neighbors like Tucker High School ($18,285) and Cross Keys ($19,060). The school's dropout rate of 3.5% remains above the state average (2.4%), though it improves on the district rate (4.4%).
