Summary

Dunaire Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stone Mountain, Georgia, serving 425 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dunaire Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 973 and 1150 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools. The school's academic performance lags significantly behind the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 18.5% to 25% at Dunaire, compared to 29.1% to 34.9% for the county and 34.9% to 43% for the state. The performance gaps are even wider in Mathematics and Science.

Despite the school's low academic performance, Dunaire Elementary has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, ranging from 12.2 to 13.3 students per teacher. This suggests that factors other than staffing, such as curriculum, instruction, or school climate, may be more significant drivers of the school's poor outcomes. Interestingly, nearby high-poverty schools like Rowland Elementary, Robert Shaw Theme School, and Museum School Avondale Estates have demonstrated significantly better academic results, highlighting the potential for Dunaire Elementary to improve with the right interventions and support.
