Summary

Oakcliff Elementary School in Doraville, GA, serves approximately 621 students in grades PK through 5 within the DeKalb County School District. The school has earned a 2-star rating and now ranks in the 40th percentile statewide, a significant jump from last year's 27th percentile—one of the largest year-over-year improvements among nearby schools.

The most striking achievement at Oakcliff is its chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.8%, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 26.7% and the state average of 17.7%. This is especially remarkable given that 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Nearby schools like Huntley Hills Elementary School (28.1%) and Pleasantdale Elementary School (25.9%) have much higher rates. Oakcliff has cut its chronic absenteeism by nearly half over four years, suggesting effective attendance initiatives and strong family engagement that could serve as a model for other schools.

Academically, Oakcliff shines in 5th grade math, with 41.1% proficiency—the highest among all nearby DeKalb County schools and nearly 10 points above the district average. The school also exceeded district averages in 5th grade science (34.3% vs. 30.4%), a dramatic improvement from the prior year. Oakcliff achieves these results while spending less per student ($17,964) than several lower-ranked neighbors, including Hawthorne Elementary School ($21,825) and Huntley Hills ($21,190). While English Language Arts scores are not yet available for this year, Oakcliff's upward trajectory in ranking, attendance, and math performance makes it a school to watch. Note that ELA results will be released in December.

great school Close Quote

by a parent
Thursday, May 12, 2016

Parents and teachers at this school always go above and beyond to make school life a meaningful experience for the students. Students know they are valued and cared of so they try really hard to accomplish a lot with the few means at their reach which most of the time means only what the school can provide. Close Quote
