Dallas Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, ranging from 782nd out of 1205 schools in 2016-2017 to 948th out of 1248 schools in 2023-2024, and has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time. Additionally, Dallas Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.1% in 2022-2023 to 81.93% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

My oldest was on a 4th grade reading level after finishing kindergarten. We then moved to VanWert elementary. I saw a huge difference in the 2 schools and if I could only choose 1 of the 2 I would choose Dallas Elementary all the way. My daughter only went to kindergarten at Dallas but we had an awesome experience. I would have rated 5 stars but since we only experienced 1 year. Close Quote
