Summary

Stonewall Tell Elementary School in College Park, GA, serves 579 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Fulton County School District, and it has earned a solid reputation for consistent, dependable performance over the past decade.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional work with African American students, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement that places it in the top 12% of all Georgia schools serving this population. This is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like Brookview Elementary School, which ranks in the 22nd percentile overall. Stonewall Tell also shines in early-grade mathematics: 53.2% of 3rd graders and 51.5% of 4th graders scored proficient or above in 2025-2026, both exceeding state averages. The school has made dramatic progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 20.8% in 2022-2023 to just 13.6%—well below the district average of 16.6% and far better than nearby schools like Deerwood Academy (30.9%) and R. N. Fickett Elementary School (33.4%).

While early-grade math is a clear strength, 5th grade mathematics presents a persistent challenge, with only 37.8% of students proficient compared to 44.1% statewide—a pattern that has held for several years. However, the most recent school year shows remarkable improvement across multiple metrics, including a jump in 5th grade science proficiency from 30% to 48.5%, and an overall state ranking improvement from the 55th to the 62nd percentile. The school's per-student spending of $17,780 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7 suggest meaningful investment in student success. Among seven nearby Fulton County elementary schools, only Cliftondale Elementary School ranks higher, and Stonewall Tell outperforms Wolf Creek Elementary, Renaissance Elementary School, and Randolph Elementary School despite serving a similar demographic profile. With improving attendance, rising test scores, and a track record of exceeding expectations, Stonewall Tell is a school on an upward trajectory worth watching.

Open Quote This was my first year teaching at this school. I had a great experience. I had a wonderful group of teammates that welcomed me in! In addition, I had a fantastic group of scholars with supportive parents to match. Furthermore, within the school I have meet some exceptional peers. I’m looking forward to the new academic year!

Open Quote I have literally experienced 4 elementary schools in South Fulton for different reasons and I am the happiest at Stonewall Tell. Well, we have been here for 3 grades and I can honestly say the administration is awesome. At first, it was rocky because they were a new team, but they have settled into things and are really trying to be forward thinking with STEM, STEAM, IB, parent bookclubs, foreign language, yoga/meditation, and additional PE hours. HOWEVER, the teachers are hit or miss, some are self absorbed, some miss a lot of days. I can understand they have their own lives, but I'm just letting you know they will blame you and yours even if they miss a month of school for whatever reason. I know I cannot miss a month of work and continue to stay on top of my workload, but hey, that just might be me. My son's grades dropped drastically this school year and he has to take summer school for GMAS reading. I am happy it was just reading since he was behind in all subjects which is my fault because I did not take drastic measures until his last quartly report card. There was no academic support so I had to pay for tutoring. Big time expense and we went without some wants and luxuries for a couple of months. I hope they bring back afterschool academic support, and I also hope they start requiring 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade parents to volunteer at least 5 hours of teacher and admin support. There should be an easy sign up on the website where parents can choose a day, time slot, and task to come in to the school. Only my children's teachers would ask for help every 3 months or so and you practically had to beg them to come in to assist. My other child flourished, the teacher had a more child centered model, and the admins supported her methods and my wishes... Admin is quick to respond to parental and community concerns. You just have to speak up so they will know. I did not speak up with my son, but next year all of my concerns will be heard! To sum it up, the administration cares about the kids, and most of the teachers will do everything possible to assist with your child's academic growth, but like with any field, you have a few bad apples. If you notice any issues with your child's education, let the teachers, counselors, and administration know so that everyone can be on the same page with a plan of action... Overall a good school!

Open Quote I would rate this school as an excellent school for any child to attend. I have a 5th grader at this school. She is a straight "A" student. They are very good about parent, teacher and student involvement in the learning process. They strive for high achievement amongst the students. They have excellent business partners that give back to the school. They are professional, they are very involved with the students and truly care whether or not the child learns. There is also excellent leadership and most importantly, the teachers really teach. That is why the test scores are excellent. I would definitely recommend this school! Close Quote
