Summary

Montclair Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brookhaven, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 633 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. Montclair Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 1095-1183 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools over the past several years, and has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montclair Elementary's academic performance lags significantly behind that of nearby schools, such as Briar Vista Elementary, Ashford Park Elementary, Sagamore Hills Elementary, and Oak Grove Elementary. These schools, which are also part of the DeKalb County district, have much higher proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments, with many of them ranking in the top half or top quarter of Georgia elementary schools. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Montclair Elementary may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional challenges that can impact their educational outcomes.

Despite Montclair Elementary's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school's consistent underperformance presents an opportunity for the school district and community to identify and address the root causes of the school's challenges. This could involve implementing targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and engaging with families and the local community to better support student learning. Addressing these issues could be a priority for the DeKalb County School District and the local community.
