Summary

John Robert Lewis Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brookhaven, Georgia, serving 873 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 school districts in the state.

Academic performance at John Robert Lewis Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools over the past five years. The school's proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment are significantly below the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 29.1% in the district and 34.9% statewide. The school's performance has remained stagnant or declined in recent years.

In contrast, nearby schools like Ashford Park Elementary and Oak Grove Elementary serve more affluent student populations and consistently outperform John Robert Lewis Elementary on the Milestones Assessments. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at John Robert Lewis Elementary, ranging from 84.08% to 100% over the past three years, may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Additionally, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to the higher-performing nearby schools suggest potential resource allocation challenges.
