Summary

Findley Oaks Elementary School in Duluth, GA, is a consistently top-ranked school serving 585 students in grades PK through 5 within the Fulton County district, and it has held a 5-star rating for a decade.

What truly sets Findley Oaks apart is its remarkable attendance record. With a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.3%, the school dramatically outperforms the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages, and it has stayed between 3.5% and 7.2% even during pandemic-era spikes. This stability points to strong family engagement and effective attendance practices. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $19,610 per pupil and maintaining a low 12.6:1 student-teacher ratio—among the lowest in its area. Academically, 5th grade science is a standout strength, with 77.1% proficiency versus 44.2% statewide. However, 5th grade math dipped to 75% proficiency this year, down from 81.4% last year, a trend worth watching. Note that the most recent test release does not include English Language Arts scores; those arrive in December.

Findley Oaks sits in an extraordinarily competitive cluster of high performers. While it ranks 44th statewide, nearby Creek View Elementary School (6th), Wilson Creek Elementary School (10th), and Lake Windward Elementary School (14th) all rank higher—yet Findley Oaks still outperforms Ocee Elementary School (50th) and Medlock Bridge Elementary School (42nd). Interestingly, some lower-spending neighbors like Creek View ($15,919/student) achieve higher rankings, raising questions about spending efficiency. Still, for families, this area offers multiple excellent options, and Findley Oaks remains a reliable, high-quality choice with a decade of proven stability.
