It has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 495 out of 1,248 elementary schools in Georgia. Another high-performing school is Tapestry Public Charter School, a 6-12 grade public charter school with strong proficiency rates above the county and state in many subject areas. It has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 213 out of 452 high schools in Georgia. In contrast, Doraville United Elementary School and Georgia Fugees Academy Charter School struggle, with proficiency rates well below the county and state averages.
The data suggests a potential correlation between higher spending per student and better academic outcomes, as the top-performing schools, Evansdale Elementary and Tapestry Public Charter, also have the highest per-student spending. However, the two charter schools in the area show mixed results, with Tapestry Public Charter outperforming the district and state, while Georgia Fugees Academy Charter lags behind. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch students across the schools, particularly at the lower-performing schools, suggest potential equity issues and challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students in the area.
