Summary

Indian Creek Elementary School in Clarkston, GA, serves approximately 967 students in grades PK-5 within the DeKalb County school district, where every enrolled student comes from an economically disadvantaged household.

The most striking strength at Indian Creek is its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.8%—a figure nearly identical to the state average and dramatically better than nearby high-poverty schools like Hambrick Elementary School (31.6%), Dunaire Elementary School (30.3%), and Jolly Elementary School (28.6%). This suggests strong family engagement and attendance initiatives that other schools in similar circumstances haven't matched. The school also showed remarkable progress in math, with 4th grade proficiency jumping from 19.6% to 33.6% in a single year—a 14-point gain that outpaces improvements at most comparable schools. English Language Learner students perform particularly well, ranking in the 40th percentile statewide, which is the school's strongest subgroup showing and reflects effective support for its diverse, multilingual community.

Indian Creek's overall ranking improved from the 7th to the 16th percentile this year, earning a 1-star rating, and science scores are trending upward (23.3% proficient in 5th grade, up from 15.9% two years ago). The school spends $19,077 per student with a favorable 12.8:1 student-teacher ratio. Notably, this spending is actually lower than several nearby schools, including McLendon Elementary School ($24,746) and Robert Shaw Theme School ($22,295), yet Indian Creek achieves better attendance and stronger math gains—suggesting efficient use of resources. While the school still faces significant challenges, the current momentum, combined with a 33% increase in per-student spending over three years, points to a positive trajectory worth watching.

I went to a charity event the school held, awesome event very diverse and I loved learning about all the different cultures. What made me angry is not a single administrator attended the event. Makes me wonder how much they even care about the kids. Close Quote
