Eldridge L. Miller Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

1083^rd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,222 Georgia Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Eldridge L. Miller Elementary School in Stone Mountain, GA, serves approximately 450 students in grades PK-5 as part of DeKalb County, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school currently ranks in the 11th percentile statewide, a slight dip from last year but consistent with its historical performance over the past decade.

One of the biggest challenges is chronic absenteeism: 32.5% of students were chronically absent in 2025-2026, nearly double the state average of 17.7%. While this is an improvement from the 39.3% peak in 2023-2024, it remains a significant barrier. Notably, Rockbridge Elementary, just 1.67 miles away, has a chronic absenteeism rate of only 18.8% and outperforms Eldridge L. Miller in most academic areas—showing that lower absenteeism is achievable in the same community. In math, 3rd grade proficiency was 25.8% (vs. 48.3% statewide), 4th grade was 31.7% (vs. 50.1%), and 5th grade dropped sharply to 16.2% (vs. 44.1%). The 4th grade math performance is a relative bright spot, nearly matching the district average and beating several nearby schools like Panola Way (18.7%) and Dunaire (19.5%). Science proficiency improved to 20.5% but still trails the state by more than 23 points.

The school spends $20,582 per student—among the highest in its comparison group—yet achieves lower results than Allgood Elementary, which spends about $1,400 less per student and ranks in the 37th percentile with significantly stronger scores across nearly every subject. Both schools serve identical free/reduced lunch populations and are within two miles of each other, suggesting the challenges are not insurmountable. With a favorable 13.6:1 student-teacher ratio, the resources are there; the question is how effectively they're being used. Addressing chronic absenteeism and understanding the 5th grade drop-off should be top priorities for school leadership.

As a grandparent of two students at E. L. Miller Elementary School I have seen a great improvement of the school since the new principal arrived. He has more after school programs and expected excellence from the teachers and students. I can see a NEW and EXCITED atmosphere in the school. With the parents and students help I am sure that this school can and will be one of the best. Special thanks to Mr. Gordon, Ms Benson, Mrs. James,Mr Nicholson for all their hard work. They made the classes challenging but fun for my granddaughter. I hope the principal, Mr Bryant will have continued success. Close Quote
