The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 138 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dunaire Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 973 and 1215 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools over the past 10 years.

Dunaire Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.5% to 22.2% for grades 3-5 in math, and 12.8% to 37% in ELA, compared to 32.1% to 34.3% and 30.5% to 40.8% for the county, respectively.

When comparing Dunaire Elementary to other nearby schools in the DeKalb County district, it is clear the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance.

Addressing the challenges faced by Dunaire's high-poverty student population will be critical for the school to raise student achievement and provide a high-quality education for its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
