Summary

Peachtree Middle School in Atlanta, GA, serves approximately 1,214 students in grades 6-8 within the DeKalb County School District, and currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking in the 53rd percentile statewide.

The school’s standout strength is its Algebra I program. In 2025-2026, 92.3% of students scored proficient or better—nearly double the state average (48.1%) and more than 2.4 times the district average (38%). This is a consistent area of excellence, with proficiency rates of 97% in 2024-2025 and 83.6% in 2023-2024. However, other subjects present challenges. Only 18.6% of 8th graders scored proficient in Science, below the district (24.6%) and state (29.7%) averages, and Social Studies proficiency (28.6%) also trails the state (40.2%). The school also shows significant variation across student groups, with strong outcomes for White students (82nd percentile) and Special Education students (68th percentile), but much lower rankings for Hispanic students (4th percentile) and English Language Learners (14th percentile). On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 24.1% in 2022-2023 to 16.7% in 2025-2026—now below the state average of 17.7% and well below the district’s 26.7%.

Compared to nearby schools, Peachtree sits in the middle. Chamblee Middle School, just 2.5 miles away, ranks in the 93rd percentile (5 stars) with far higher proficiency rates in Science (71.9% vs. 18.6%) and 8th grade Math (76.6% vs. 36.6%). Conversely, Henderson Middle School (5.1 miles away) ranks in the 41st percentile, and Peachtree outperforms it in most subjects. The school’s statewide ranking has declined from the 82nd percentile in 2015-2016 to its current 53rd percentile, though it has stabilized over the past two years. Per-student spending has risen to $18,127, yet outcomes vary widely across schools with similar budgets, suggesting that resource allocation alone doesn’t explain performance differences. Overall, Peachtree offers a strong advanced math pathway and improving attendance, but families should be aware of the mixed results in science, social studies, and for certain student subgroups.

Tuesday, March 5, 2024

We had a horrible experience at this school. For clarity, the teachers are wonderful, BUT those children are spawns of satan. I thought my child was going to need therapy after attending this school. Bullying and racial slurs are the norm there. The principal recently quit mid school year...speaks volumes! Close Quote
