Summary

Oakcliff Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Doraville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 648 students. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakcliff Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 614 and 904 over the past 10 years and a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the state averages, with only 27.8% of 3rd graders, 28.6% of 4th graders, and 20.7% of 5th graders at Oakcliff proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.9%, 39.3%, and 43% at the state level, respectively. Additionally, Oakcliff has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.48% to 95.52% over the past few years, which is much higher than the nearby schools.

When comparing Oakcliff Elementary to other schools in the area, such as Chesnut Elementary and Evansdale Elementary, it is clear that Oakcliff is underperforming academically. These nearby schools have significantly higher proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments and higher SchoolDigger rankings and star ratings. The relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratio at Oakcliff Elementary may also contribute to the school's challenges in improving its educational outcomes.

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
