Summary

Elizabeth Andrews High School is a small alternative high school in Stone Mountain, GA, serving 167 students in grades 10-12 as part of the DeKalb County school district.

This school serves students who have not found success in traditional high school settings, and it invests heavily in that mission. Per-student spending is $46,675—roughly 2.5 times what nearby schools like Stephenson High School or Stone Mountain High School spend—and the student-teacher ratio is just 5.2:1, far lower than the 13:1 to 18:1 range at neighboring schools. The most encouraging news is a dramatic improvement in graduation rates, which jumped from 8.3% in 2021-2022 to 45.1% in 2024-2025, while the dropout rate fell from 37.5% to 15.5% over the same period. That said, the graduation rate still trails the district average of 81.4% and the state average of 87.2%, and chronic absenteeism remains a serious concern at 61%—more than double the district rate. Test proficiency rates are also very low, with Algebra I at 8.2% and Biology at 11.7% compared to state averages above 47%.

One striking detail is that Elizabeth Andrews shares its physical address with Dekalb Early College Academy, a selective school ranked in the 99th percentile with a 100% graduation rate. The two schools serve entirely different populations, which explains the contrast. Among Elizabeth Andrews' student subgroups, English Language Learners perform relatively best (27th percentile statewide), while special education students rank last in Georgia. The school's US History scores have been a relative bright spot, reaching 24.4% proficiency in 2024-2025, approaching the district average. While academic outcomes remain critically low, the steady progress in keeping students enrolled and moving toward graduation suggests recent interventions are beginning to take hold.

Open Quote I am a former student of Elizabeth Andrews High School. I graduated within two semesters, which was my beginning goal and it had been accomplished. I would first like to start off by saying that this school has a few select teachers that truly love to teach and are there to help you learn, they assist excellently.

The staff, however is a completely different story. Many staff members, assistants, secretaries etc. are fouled-mouth and unproffesional, as well as the other majority of teachers. It is not a comfortable safe environment for everyone, many of the students are disrespectful as well, as well as loud and just plain rude.
The receptionist for the school does not talk eloquently and is not very friendly, the counseling office is always on about 100 different schedules not knowing how to work together to help students, parents, and visitors. I literally sat in the counseling office for a complete hour and a few minutes to receive my test scores, only to be told something different by another staff member so basically the previous woman did not know what she was talking about.

These are only a few of the flaws the school has, trust me everyone has a different story, but mine happens to be negative. I am so glad I'm done with it!

Overall, if you are someone who is respectful, study and do your work, you will do fine, there is no need to worry, just focus on achieveing what you came there to do despite the chaotic environment. Close Quote
