Summary

Midvale Elementary School in Tucker, GA, serves approximately 417 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of DeKalb County Schools, and has earned a consistent 3-star rating while ranking in the 60th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Midvale stands out most clearly in mathematics, where it consistently outperforms its district by wide margins. In 2025-2026, 4th grade math proficiency reached 56.9%—19.4 percentage points above the district average of 37.5%—and 5th grade math hit 45.6% versus 31.7% for the district. The school also exceeds district averages in 5th grade science (41.1% vs. 30.4%). Perhaps most impressive is the school's dramatic improvement in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from 32.3% in 2022-2023 to just 14.0% in 2025-2026—now 12.7 points below the district average and even below the state average. This improvement is especially notable given that 78.7% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 54.2% just two years earlier. Despite this significant rise in economic need, the school's statewide ranking actually improved from the 52nd to the 60th percentile, suggesting effective supports are in place. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.4:1 and spends about $24,333 per student.

Compared to nearby schools, Midvale achieves strong results despite serving a higher-poverty population. For example, Briarlake Elementary ranks higher (78th percentile) but serves a population with less than half the poverty rate (37.2%). Meanwhile, Idlewood Elementary, just 2.15 miles away with a 100% free/reduced lunch population, trails Midvale substantially in 4th grade math (48.3% vs. 56.9%) and has much higher chronic absenteeism (23.2% vs. 14.0%). Even Nesbit Elementary in Gwinnett County, serving a similar demographic profile, ranks in the 13th percentile with math proficiency roughly half of Midvale's. English Language Arts results from 2024-2025 showed strong performance (44.6% in 3rd grade vs. 29.1% district), with current-year ELA scores expected in December.

Surprised to see the low overall rating here, I bring my three kids here through the school choice program and I find Midvale to be a great school. One of my older children is in the gifted program and is challenged at just the right level, my other two are also doing well while getting to explore a diverse range of subjects and meet a diverse range of friends. The school is well organized and the teachers/staff are caring and professional. Close Quote

Midvale Elementary School was a fantastic learning environment for my son. He came from a private school and he loved Midvale from the moment he arrived. His teachers were beyond amazing, the diversity of the school is phenomenal, and he wishes he could stay there for 6th grade as well. No school is perfect, so if you're looking for perfection this is not it. I will say that I have been more than pleased with the education he received while he was there. Yes, he excelled on the CRCT and his grades were great as well. Take all of this statistical information with a grain of salt because even a school with a ranking of 10 may not be a good fit for your child. Always visit and stay involved! Close Quote
