Summary

John Robert Lewis Elementary School in Brookhaven, GA, is a large PK-5 school serving 840 students in the DeKalb County district, where the vast majority of families (about 88%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges. Its state ranking has been in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for five straight years, and math proficiency rates hover around 20% across all grade levels—well below the state average of roughly 44-50%. Science proficiency for 5th graders is even lower at 14.1%, compared to a 44.2% state average. The contrast with nearby schools is striking: Ashford Park Elementary School, less than a mile away, is a 5-star school with 67.6% 5th-grade math proficiency and only 14.8% of students on free/reduced lunch. This disparity highlights a deep socio-economic divide between attendance zones, not a reflection of effort or potential. The school does show a modest positive trend in math—5th-grade proficiency has climbed from 5.9% to 21.7% over three years—suggesting recent instructional efforts may be starting to pay off.

One notable finding is that the school spends more per student ($20,270) than high-performing neighbors like Ashford Park ($16,844) and GLOBE Academy Charter School I ($15,034), indicating that funding alone isn't the issue. Chronic absenteeism (19.4%) is better than the district average (26.7%) but higher than the state average (17.7%) and far above Ashford Park's 5.5%. The school's performance with English Language Learners is relatively stronger (12th percentile statewide) than with other subgroups, suggesting some targeted supports exist. While the school shares a similar profile with other high-poverty schools like Montclair Elementary School and Dresden Elementary School, it is outperformed by Woodward Elementary School, which has similar demographics but slightly better results—proof that progress is possible with the right interventions.
