Summary

Flat Rock Elementary School in Lithonia, GA, serves approximately 977 students in grades PK through 5 as part of DeKalb County Schools, making it one of the larger elementary schools in its area, with all students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Flat Rock's test scores place it in the middle of a group of nearby schools that are generally struggling, though there are some encouraging signs. In math, 3rd grade proficiency jumped from 13.7% to 24.3% in one year, while 5th grade improved from 17.3% to 22.7%. However, 4th grade dipped slightly to 17.9%, and 5th grade science sits at 14.3%—all below district and state averages. For context, Stoneview Elementary (4 miles away) posted just 6.6% or lower in most math categories, while Edward L. Bouie- Senior Elementary School (2.5 miles away) achieved 41.6% to 48.9% math proficiency with similar demographics. This wide range within a few miles suggests school-level factors matter greatly.

One of Flat Rock's most notable successes is its dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 36.4% in 2022-2023 to 24.3% in 2025-2026—now below the district average of 26.7%, though still above the state's 17.7%. This improvement correlates with modest academic gains, and it's worth noting that higher-performing nearby schools like Narvie Harris Elementary School (14.8% absenteeism) and Leadership Preparatory Academy (12.9%) have much lower rates. Flat Rock also spends efficiently at $17,296 per student—less than several lower-performing peers like Browns Mill Elementary ($21,882) and Fairington Elementary ($20,113). While the school's special education ranking is a critical concern, the overall trajectory—especially in attendance and 3rd grade math—suggests that continued focus on getting kids to school could be the most powerful lever for future gains.
