Summary

Montclair Elementary School in Brookhaven, GA, serves approximately 590 students in grades PK-5 as part of DeKalb County Schools, and it currently ranks in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools.

Montclair’s academic performance lags behind most nearby schools. In 2025-2026 math testing, proficiency rates ranged from 20.5% to 26.9% across grades 3-5, compared to much higher rates at Oak Grove Elementary School (67.4-78.7%) and Ashford Park Elementary School (67.6-75.9%). Even schools with similar demographics, like John Robert Lewis Elementary School, post slightly higher math scores in most grades. Science proficiency is a particular concern: only 8.9% of 5th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, down from 24.1% in 2022-2023 and well below the state average of 44.2%. That said, there are bright spots. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 24.5% in 2021-2022 to 16.4%—now better than both the state average (17.7%) and the DeKalb County average (26.7%). Third-grade math proficiency has also doubled over two years, from 12.3% to 26.9%.

Montclair serves a predominantly low-income population, with 83.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Per-pupil spending has risen sharply to $19,749, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 11.3. However, these investments have not yet translated into significant academic gains, a pattern also seen at Dresden Elementary School, which spends $18,974 per student but ranks in the 2nd percentile. By contrast, Oak Grove Elementary School spends $22,986 and achieves top-10% rankings. One relative strength is support for English Language Learners, who rank in the 20th percentile statewide—notably better than the school’s overall performance. While Montclair remains in the lowest performance tier, its improved attendance and early-grade math gains suggest incremental progress worth watching.
