Summary

Dunaire Elementary School in Stone Mountain, GA, serves approximately 432 students in grades PK through 5 as part of DeKalb County Schools, with all students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Dunaire is a high-poverty school making slow but steady progress. While test scores remain below district and state averages, the 2025-2026 school year brought meaningful improvements across all tested subjects. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency rose from 14.8% to 20.8%, and 5th grade science jumped from 19.4% to 25.3%. The school's overall state ranking has also inched upward from the 5th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 9th percentile this year. However, challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism sits at 30.3%—nearly double the state average and the highest in five years. The school also struggles most with its English Language Learner students, who rank in the 0th percentile statewide, signaling an urgent need for stronger language development support.

Perhaps the most striking comparison is with Robert Shaw Theme School, just 1.5 miles away. Both schools serve 100% free/reduced lunch populations, yet Robert Shaw ranks in the 94th percentile with math proficiency rates of 70-84% and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.8%. Meanwhile, Allgood Elementary, less than a mile away, achieves a 37th percentile ranking with the same demographic profile. Dunaire's per-pupil spending of $21,079 is higher than several nearby schools that outperform it, suggesting that money alone isn't the answer. The good news: Dunaire's recent upward trend in math and science, combined with its growing resource investment, suggests that targeted strategies—especially around attendance and ELL support—could help close the gap with its higher-performing neighbors.
