Summary

Flat Rock Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lithonia, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 986 students. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Flat Rock Elementary School consistently performs significantly below the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 12.2% at Flat Rock, compared to 29.1% in DeKalb County and 34.9% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, consistently ranking between 1,085 and 1,180 out of around 1,200 schools, and has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Despite increased per-student spending and consistent efforts, Flat Rock Elementary School has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance or state ranking over the past several years. This suggests that the school may be facing deeper systemic challenges that require a more comprehensive approach to address. Nearby schools in the DeKalb County district, such as Narvie Harris Elementary and Edward L. Bouie-Senior Elementary, have much higher proficiency rates and state rankings, despite serving economically disadvantaged populations, suggesting that targeted interventions and support could help improve the performance of Flat Rock Elementary School.
