Summary

DeKalb PATH Academy Charter School is a small public charter middle school in Brookhaven, GA, serving 369 students in grades 5 through 8 within the DeKalb County school district.

The most striking thing about DeKalb PATH Academy is how well students attend school. Only 2.6% of students are chronically absent—that's dramatically better than the district average of 26.7% and the state average of 17.7%. In fact, nearby schools like Sequoyah Middle School (30.8%) and Druid Hills Middle School (24.2%) have absenteeism rates nearly ten times higher. This strong attendance likely fuels the school's impressive math gains. While 5th and 6th graders start below district averages in math, by 8th grade they leap ahead—42.7% score proficient, well above the district's 31.3%. The school also shines in Algebra I, with 78.4% of students scoring proficient or better, nearly double the district rate. This is especially notable because 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a demographic where such results are rare. The school achieves all this while spending less per student ($15,772) than every comparable school in the area, including Tucker Middle School ($18,208) and Kittredge Magnet School ($17,608).

However, there are areas of concern. Science proficiency in 8th grade is just 9.7%, far below the state's 29.7%, and social studies (19.8%) also trails the state average (40.2%). The school's overall state ranking has declined from a 3-star rating in 2018-2019 to its current 2-star status (30th percentile). While the school has stabilized in recent years, it hasn't recovered to the level of peers like Chamblee Middle School, which now ranks in the 93rd percentile. For parents, DeKalb PATH Academy offers a clear picture: exceptional attendance, strong math acceleration, and efficient spending—but with real challenges in science, social studies, and early-grade performance that families should weigh carefully.
